I love learning about different experiences, which fuels my curiosity about the world and passion for design and problem solving for humans. My international experience has made me culturally aware to take into account all the diverse perspectives and biases in my design process.
Before entering into the tech industry and the world of UX, I was a hospitality and tourism graduate. Driven by my desire to learn about different cultures, I obtained a working holiday visa for Japan and move out of my hometown in Toronto to a completely new country. I worked in Japan’s tourism industry for 4 years where I practiced omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) and immersed myself into the Japanese work culture.
My experience living in Japan has taught me to integrate omotenashi into UX, anticipating user needs and empowering them. When I design, I aim to create intuitive, hospitable product experiences that enhance company competitiveness.
Conducted user testing and analyzed qualitative and quantitative data to inform my design decisions
Experienced in organizing and structuring and breaking down complex information into simplified concepts
Created wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes based on business requirements and co-collaboration with stakeholders using Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch
Planned and facilitated design thinking workshops between stakeholders and design team for cross-collaboration and producing creative innovative outputs
