About
Nineteen years of making complex things feel simple.
I started in brand and project management in 2007, moved into digital product through Emily Carr, and have worked where design, research and delivery meet ever since. Most recently I was UX product designer and product owner at PrecisionOS, working on VR surgical training for orthopedic residents, its companion app and its website.
What I bring is range and follow-through. I can run the research, design the experience, write the acceptance criteria and stay with QA until it ships, so less gets lost in hand-offs. Agentic coding now lets me carry a design straight into working UI. I do my best work in complex, high-stakes settings, where the team needs someone who can hold the whole picture.
