04 / About

Understanding. Designing. Building.

A design
mindset.
A cloud
focus.

My path connects industrial design, UX and cloud development.

I have a Bachelor of Industrial Design from Carleton University, and I’m now studying cloud development at Algonquin College. I approach these areas through the same questions: who needs this, what problem are we solving, and how can I build something that works for them?

Industrial design gives me a foundation for thinking about people and products. UX connects those questions to digital experiences. Cloud development is my main career focus as I learn to turn ideas into working applications and infrastructure.
