Information

Hello, I'm a design director in Toronto, Canada. I have over 18 years of experience in graphic design, front-end development, and user experience strategy.

My area of expertise is editorial product design, and I'm passionate about creating exceptional reading experiences and editorial systems. Throughout my career, I have developed websites for prominent Canadian publishers and collaborated with startups and independent publishers both as an in-house designer and a freelancer.

I've led and mentored high-performing, award-winning design teams for St. Joseph Media and National Post. As a freelancer, I lead clients and teams through the entire project cycle, running design processes that deliver on core user and business goals with empathy and clarity.

To learn more about me, please get in touch. I'd love to chat!.
