ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME •

My Background 👩🏾‍⚕️👩🏾‍🎨

I am UX Designer based in Ottawa, Canada. I am passionate about all things visual design, storytelling, and community. My most recent project called, Mood, consisted of creating a social platform for young adults to connect with their friends and loved ones, in a fun, authentic & emotionally intuitive way.

Before UX, I worked for 5+ years as a Nurse in Canada's geriatric and fertility field. While working as a nurse, I freelanced part-time as a designer and applied my passion for visual design through creating campaigns, brand designing and video editing for companies and personal brands. My unique background has reinforced my ability to easily empathize, relate and be of service to my client’s needs.
