About Me


I’m a product designer with a strong foundation in design systems and a passion for creating experiences that truly serve people. My journey began at the Ontario College of Art & Design, where I studied Graphic Design and later returned as a Teaching Assistant in typography and InDesign. After working across web and print, I shifted my focus toward digital products—where design systems, research, and user experience all come together to solve complex problems at scale.

Working at Dayforce, I apply this blend of craft and systems thinking to help build products that are both consistent and adaptable. My background in design systems means I care deeply about scalability, accessibility, and cross-functional collaboration. I’ve led system discovery sessions, facilitated workshops, and worked closely with engineers and product managers to ensure that design solutions aren’t just visually polished but also technically feasible, inclusive, and aligned with business goals.

My design practice is grounded in understanding real people and their challenges. I use research, usability testing, and data to uncover pain points, then translate those insights into intuitive flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity experiences. Prototyping—whether quick sketches or detailed Figma builds—is one of my favorite ways to bring ideas to life and validate them early. I believe great design happens when you balance user needs, business strategy, and system-level thinking to create solutions that last.

Beyond work, I’m a father of two, a cyclist, and a home barista-in-training. Whether I’m exploring the outdoors, playing with my kids, or pulling a shot of espresso, I bring the same curiosity and iterative mindset that fuels my design practice.
