About

I’m an analytics product designer with 12+ years of cross-sector experience in healthcare, government, insurance, finance, and community. I’ve worked with organizations including the University Health Network (UHN), SickKids Hospital, Ontario Health, Casey House, and Sun Life Financial.

My passion for this field grew during my first job out of undergrad in 2010, where I quickly learned that a focus on iterative design and honest, transparent relationships with end users were crucial to their engagement with data, and a shared commitment to making tools as meaningful as possible. Over the years, I’ve designed multi-page dashboards for executives, reports and briefs for clinicians across the province, public-facing content for social media, and lots in between.

With a background in industrial engineering (University of Toronto, 2010) and a masters of information in UX design (University of Toronto, 2020), I bring both structure and sensitivity to my work. While I no longer focus on dashboard development, my past experience as a Tableau developer helps me design with real-world tools and constraints in mind.
