ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME •

  • Film Photo's

    On my free time, I enjoy taking photos on film of friends & family. I love the nostalgic & timeless effect film photos give.

  • Tik Tok

    My current favourite app that I may be borderline addict to is Tik Tok. The fact that I can laugh, learn a new recipe or life-hack in less than one minute, leaves me wanting to learn more.

  • Hanging with my Tribe

    Sisterhood and community mean the world to me. Spending time with my tribe (girlfriends) is essential for keeping me grounded and refreshed in this ever changing planet.

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.
