I’m a Toronto-based UX designer with a background in Cognitive Science. I am currently volunteering with Firefly Spark, a start-up focused on building meaningful spontaneous experiences, and at a developmental research lab with Dr. Lara Pierce where we study how environmental factors effect children’s brain and language development. These roles have deepened my interest in human-centred design and the ways technology can support learning and connection. In the past, I led communications and digital strategy for a social justice initiative, and outside of design you’ll often find me travelling, studying art history, or cheering on Liverpool FC.
