My career so far

I am a Senior Product Designer with over 8 years of experience...

crafting intuitive, impactful solutions for complex challenges. My passion lies in bridging the gap between user needs and technical possibilities, particularly in intricate domains like healthcare, where the stakes are high and precision is critical.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working on transformative projects, such as leading the UI Refresh Team for TELUS Health’s Collaborative Health Record (CHR). This role exemplified my ability to wear multiple hats: as a hands-on designer crafting elegant user experiences and as a team leader driving strategic vision, mentorship, and execution.

Complex Problem-Solving

From designing scalable systems for healthcare to aligning multi-product ecosystems, I excel in tackling multifaceted challenges with a methodical, user-first approach.

Leadership and Collaboration

I thrive in dynamic environments, whether leading cross-functional teams, mentoring designers, or working shoulder-to-shoulder with developers and stakeholders to deliver business-critical features.

My process

My design process consists of a five-phase approach focused on user-centered solutions. It begins with research to gather insights, followed by analysis, design, prototyping, and thorough testing. Depending on the project, this process can be slightly adapted to meet specific needs, ensuring a tailored approach from idea to execution.
