About

Hello.

I am a student of Design at Emily Carr University. 

About Me

 I'm a designer working at the intersection of product, system, and strategy. My work connects the dots between idea and outcome, whether it's a physical object, a digital tool, or a process that brings clarity to chaos.

I started in industrial design but moved quickly into systems: workflows, tooling, and design operations. I’ve led multidisciplinary teams, developed panelized building systems, created internal platforms, and helped turn scattered project needs into structured programs.

Right now, I’m building my own platform and open to projects that need strategic design, visual clarity, and systems that scale.

How I Work
Design isn’t just about outputs — it’s about relationships. These are the principles I return to when connecting the parts of any system.
FIND THE ANCHORS
Every project has a few key truths. I start by finding them — the points we can align around.
DESIGN THE CONNECTIONS
Products are built on relationships: between teams, tools, and ideas. I focus on how those link together.
STAY ADAPTABLE
No two problems need the same method. I shift tools and frameworks to match the moment.
