About

With a robust educational background in media and design, including a Master's degree in Graphic Moving Image from the University of the Arts London and an MFA in Media Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, I have cultivated a diverse skill set in user interface and experience design. Currently, I serve as a Product User Interface Designer at The Canadian Real Estate Association, where I focus on creating seamless and intuitive user experiences. Previously, I was a Web Design Instructor at NSCAD University, earning high praise for my comprehensive, user-centered design curriculum. My experience also includes roles as a UX/UI Designer at Officetrax and an Interdisciplinary Designer at WeUsThem Inc., where I specialized in both digital and print design. Additionally, I have contributed as a Teaching and Research Assistant at NSCAD University, focusing on augmented reality and animation projects.
