About me
I'm a designer and researcher based in Toronto with over 10 years of visual communication experience in government, not-for-profit and research organizations. I'm focused on improving care experiences in health and aging through education, knowledge mobilization and system design. When it comes to design, I'm equal parts strategy and execution.
My vision is to create a world where all people can grow older in their chosen community, feel holistically supported in all ways of living, and thrive in all aspects of life.
