A career built
on problem-solving.
After a 17-year career as a Microsoft Systems Engineer and network manager, I graduated in Industrial Design at OCAD University (2021) with distinction — in addition to my studies in Art and Design Foundations at the University of London (UK, Distinction, 2016).
There I was immersed in a multi-disciplinary art and design environment which led me to my focus on product design and development. My previous work experience, where I was responsible for computer network systems serving 1,200 users, helped develop and enhance my critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
That career also greatly shaped my project management, communication and time management skills — all of which I now bring to my design practice.

Why I design
for people.
I see dependency as a major psychological concern in the disabled community and I want to counter this feeling of helplessness. In my experiences working with kids with disabilities I was deeply affected by the expressions of those children — they felt like outliers, perhaps even as lesser humans.
With my learning experiences in a multi-disciplinary art and design environment I believe that if I can change one aspect of a person's daily life, it will assist them and their care-givers to move forward in other areas. Small steps lead to bigger and better results overall.
Observation First
Real design begins with watching, listening and understanding — before any sketching begins.
Collaboration with Professionals
Working closely with healthcare professionals and educators ensures solutions are grounded in reality.
Individual-Centred Solutions
Every client presents unique challenges. Flexibility and adaptability are non-negotiable.
