🧒🏻 UX & Motion Services
Fueled by a genuine curiosity about the interplay of tech and human connection, I transitioned from a fulfilling 7-year career in Motion & Animation to delve into UX Design.
💻 My journey began with Ontario’s CyberARTS curriculum, igniting a longterm love for design, A.I., cognitive science, and meditation.
⛩️ After specializing through Sheridan College's Bachelor of Animation, I worked overseas in Japan as an animator. The realization began subtly — the longer I stayed in Tokyo, the more I realized how much my life improved through their thoughtfully crafted products.
🌸They made even the most mundane tasks a delight (ie. the signange in TeamLab's exhibitions, or the JR Line's stairs which told you how many calories you burned).
👋 Ultimately, after feeling the difference that conscientious design makes in a culture, I converged onto a passion for human-centered design. With my robust background in motion and recent UX training at BrainStation Toronto, I love to bring this quality of experience to Canadians.
