About Me

I’m a British-Canadian Graphic and UX/UI Designer with a curiosity-driven mindset and a wide range of creative interests, including guitar, hiking, problem-solving, cooking, and gardening.

I value good humour, good films, and good company but above all, a proper cup of tea. I’m naturally creative and proactive, always looking for opportunities to explore ideas and refine my craft.

If the opportunity doesn’t exist, I create it.

Professionally, I bring years of experience across photography, graphic design, and UX/UI. I’ve worked as a product photographer for major North American brands and as a graphic/web designer at an agency, where I designed financial websites and digital media before moving into the Government Relations sector in Toronto.

I’m currently based in Ottawa, working as a Senior User Experience Designer creating e-commerce solutions on platforms such as Shopify, BigCommerce, and MIVA. My technical skill set includes the Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Sketch, Axure, HTML & CSS, and a range of video and audio production tools.

My design style is minimalistic with a thoughtful use of colour, an approach that also carries into my photography, where structure, composition, and tone are essential. I have a deep love for film photography - Instax, medium format, and 35mm - an influence passed down from my father, whom I greatly admire. Over the course of my career, I’ve been fortunate to work with a diverse range of clients across retail, government, non-profit, and technology sectors, both directly and through agency environments.

These experiences have strengthened not only my design skills, but also my ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and project coordinators.

Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible.
