About me

Product designer

I'm a product designer based in Toronto. Seven years across agency, studio, and in-house environments, working on brand and product for SKODA, Audi, ICICI Bank, and TATA AIA. Currently leading design on AI-powered tools at PolicyAdvisor, where my favourite work makes complex decisions feel obvious.

Approach and philosophy

Clarity

Craft

Shipping

Clarity over cleverness

I work in regulated insurance, where a confusing screen costs someone real money. The best version of a design is the one a tired user gets right the first time. I optimise for that, not for the demo.

Designer who ships

I prototype in code when it helps, hand off in Figma when that's faster, and stay close to engineering through review. The point isn't the artifact, it's whether the thing ends up in production looking like the design.

Brand and product are the same thing

Seven years across both makes the gap between them hard to take seriously. A button is a brand decision. A wordmark is a product decision. I bring both habits to every project.

Graphic / brand designer
