ABOUT ME
I'm passionate about creating beautiful
products that
empower people.
My background in Architecture.
In June of 2022, I graduated from architecture school
at the University of Toronto. There, I became obsessed
with architectural visualization.
I was deeply fascinated in the concepts of modularity
and adaptability — how our built environment could
organically evolve in conjuction with humanity.
This is my story — alongside some flicks from
my recent trip to Japan.
This thing called UX?
When the pandemic struck, I took it as an opportunity
to explore new things. I came across UX design
competitions, and thought it might be fun to just give it
a go (several times).
Long story short, my failures eventually turned into
successes, and the rest was history.
But, I wanted more.
Though I loved the freedom of academic practice, I
was greatly dissatisfied with just how slow the industry
actually moved.
I wanted to push my design craft at a faster pace and
have a positive impact on vastly more people.
In my spare time,
I'm probably making tweaks to my portfolio or hanging
out on the Design Buddies Discord server.
Other than that, you'll find me playing basketball and
volleyball, hitting the gym, gaming, and trying to get my
hands on the latest tech.
Thanks for stopping by!
Making it all happen.
To my advantage, I was able leverage a lot of the skills
and design principles I had picked up during
architecture school to greatly expedite my journey of
self-learning UX Design.
I loved solving problems by making stuff, and really
valued visual storytelling and paying meticulous
attention to precision and craftsmanship.
