About Me

At Shopify, I've designed products ranging from internal support tools, to simplifying merchant store editing experiences and everything in between. I've truly enjoyed the varied roles I've been able to bring to the product, whether it be UX, UI, prototyping, project management, wrangling complexity, or powerful visual storytelling.

I’ve always loved to create. As a kid, I’d take textbooks and try and distill down the information into simpler concepts, and lay out the information in an easy to understand way. I was introduced to digital design through Flash when I was 12. It always blew me away how everyone teaching the tutorials were kids. During my high school years I took any chance I could get to incorporate Flash animation into my projects.

I attended Carleton University’s Bachelor of Information Technology: Interactive Multimedia and Design program (what a mouthful). There I was properly introduced to HTML and CSS, and learned about how powerful it could really be. During this time I learned how unique an opportunity we have when it comes to being creators — we don’t have to be a specialist of one tool, we can use the appropriate tool for whatever we are trying to accomplish. I bring that mindset to everything I design.
