It's me!
👩🎓
I hold a Bachelor of Global Business and Digital Arts from the University of Waterloo and have 3+ years of experience in multimedia and UX design, bringing together my passions for design, learning, and community engagement. I learn by listening and grounding my work in research and feedback, always looking for insights that lead to more thoughtful design.
📍
I’m currently based in Calgary, Alberta and the San Francisco Bay Area, wrapping up my Master of Science in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) at the University of California, Santa Cruz Silicon Valley. My team is partnered with Microsoft Research – Health Futures, studying how AI can foster cross-functional collaboration and shared sensemaking in early-stage tech innovation. This work brings together business strategists, UX researchers, designers, and product managers across big tech and startup spaces to inform more effective product design.
🌲
Outside of work and school, I love hiking and camping (and recently, mountain biking). I’ve carried on a few passion projects that blend my HCI background with my love for the outdoors, researching how technology can enhance safety for both users and wildlife in outdoor recreation. This work has included collaborations with the Authentic User Experience Lab at UC Santa Cruz and the Spatial Pattern Analysis Research Lab at UC Santa Barbara.
