I'm a Toronto based creative who loves design, matcha, writing and tennis (in no particular order). I find myself constantly listening to music. While being fascinated with all aspects of User Experience design, I specialize in ideation, storytelling and visual design.
I began my journey by sketching on old notebooks, taught myself Adobe Creative Cloud, and then gained professional skills and experiences during my time as an undergraduate at the University of Waterloo; and now, I am just trying to leave a mark on the digital garden we call the internet.
I often say I am in a committed relationship with Figma, and pretty close friends with Illustrator, After Effects, InDesign and Photoshop.
