About me

I am User Experience designer with 7 years of industry experience in Toronto. Currently, I work as a UX/Visual Designer 2 at Microsoft with an amazing team building features for the M365 office suite. Outside of work, I am an avid video game player, a seasoned traveller, and an aspiring chef.

Summary

Intersection of design, business and marketing

Even though I have handled the end-to-end UX design process in past roles, my strength is in distilling research insights and creating designs that balance user needs, business requirements, and technical constraints.

I play the role of the user advocate on my teams by helping contextualize new feature ideas in user scenarios and task flows. I take extra steps to understand the problem before jumping into solving it.

Background story

Following my passion

Design has always been my passion and hobby since my early childhood. Although I studied Business Economics the traditional way at universities, I learned to design on my own out of curiosity.

This curiosity helped me to stay up-to-date from year to year and I’m still learning every single day to ensure I can deliver the most modern and effective solutions. I believe in working hard and smart instead of searching for “hacks and shortcuts”.

Nowadays, I’ve been fortunate enough to share and give back to the community with leading by example, writing detailed design articles, and sharing my design journey to educate and inspire others.

Why Design?

Making people happy by making things simple

As technology progresses things are getting more and more complex. As a designer, I have a special opportunity to make these complex processes simple, delightful and joy to use every day.

Design allows us to differentiate ourselves by showing attention and care about our customers and users. Everybody values design either consciously or unconsciously. This is why I love creating thoughtful, meaningful and polished experiences, which makes both the creators and customers happy.
