I'm a product designer who gets genuinely excited when user testing reveals something I didn't expect.

The best part of design, for me, isn't the polished final deliverable, it's the messy, collaborative middle. Sitting down with users, asking questions, watching how they work, and piecing together the patterns that reveal what a product really needs to be. I love that moment when feedback or testing data surfaces something you hadn't considered, and suddenly the whole problem shifts into clearer focus.

I've spent the last few years in B2B SaaS, working with startups on complex systems — healthcare platforms, business management tools, and workflow-heavy products. It's taught me to break problems into manageable pieces and find solutions through real conversations with the people who'll actually use what I build.

I don't believe in design dogma. Best practices are useful starting points, not universal laws, and the "right" solution is always context-specific. I'd rather have a spirited discussion with good rationale on both sides than blindly follow a framework because "that's how it's done." I don't get precious about my designs, i.e. good rationale matters more than ego!

When I'm not designing, I'm usually experimenting in the kitchen (it's basically A/B testing with butter and flour), singing enthusiastically at karaoke, or tinkering with new design tools. I'm based in Vancouver, and I'm always open to freelance opportunities, collaborative projects, or conversations about design :)
