I love diving into complex problems, finding clarity in chaos, uncovering root causes, and finding levers for change. My work is about creating inclusive and delightful experiences that empower those most affected.

[Brief intro]

I’m an investment banker-turned-social impact designer
(imagine the identity crisis). For the last 5 years, I’ve been
tackling inequity through design at my studio in Vancouver.
My finance background shaped my structured thinking and
gave me the language to articulate impact more broadly.

Each project’s uniqueness challenged me to think critically about which tools to use and how to modify them to make them more useful in the given context. Mistakes along the way helped the lessons stick more.

Sifting through data for each project, I developed an intuitive understanding of the types of information that lead to insights. Over time, I found myself spotting areas worth digging into to uncover them.
