About

Live from the stage/my workspace
 

 

What's my background?

I currently work at Audible as a Sr. UX designer creating the listening and content discovery experience across all surfaces such as iOS, Android, Amazon Fire tablets, and Alexa multi-modal devices.

As a side hustle in early 2020, I designed and launched the MVP for Monument, a start-up that provides online treatments and supports to those who are suffering from Alcohol Use Disorder.

In 2014, I joined a start-up called Eko, where we built an all-in-one enterprise platform to improve virtual workspace and team communication.

Before Eko, I worked at Best Buy Canada as a Web Interface Designer, optimizing the online shopping experience. I led the design strategy and execution of the two biggest annual Black Friday and Boxing Sales on both the desktop and mobile web.
 

What's my extraordinary power?

I'd say - building meaningful relationships with people. To truly connect with someone, I listen intently with an open mind to what others have to say. Often, I find myself learning something new about a subject or discovering insights about the individual. It is through all the micro-interactions that I build rapport with my team and stakeholders. Plus, my highly contagious positive energy is my secret sauce in making a remarkable, lasting impression.
 

Why should you hire me?

I am a problem solver who relies on research and data to design creative strategies that balance your business and customers' needs. As an effective communicator, I articulate design rationales to get alignment and buy-in from stakeholders. I'm a genuinely curious individual who is always seeking what makes your customers tick by connecting their positive emotions toward your product. Plus, I am pretty darn funny and fun to be around, especially after a few pints of Hazy IPAs. Still not convinced? Let's connect.
