I’m a pragmatic designer. I’m user-centered and business adjacent.

I'm an experienced design practitioner with over a decade in the field. I believe in user-centered design, embracing the messy creative process, and ensuring design drives meaningful outcomes.

Off the clock, you’ll likely find me outside. Depending on the weather, I’m either golfing beneath Arrowhead’s rock formations or chasing untouched snow deep in the Kootenays. And in the in-between, I spend my time exploring far-off places in pursuit of star filled skies, wifi dead zones, and a good story.
