Lead UX/UI nerd—both by profession and passion. Born and raised in Canada, I studied Graphic Design and New Media Design at Sheridan College, where I learned to make things not only look great but actually work.
When I’m not designing seamless experiences, I’m at home being a proud husband and father of two, learning to juggle life, work, and endless snack requests.
I specialize in User Research, Interaction Design, Visual Design, Prototyping, and Testing, with a focus on making user experiences as intuitive as possible. Simply put: I turn complex problems into simple, beautiful solutions. And yes, I’ll gladly talk design patterns over coffee—just don’t ask me to pick a favorite one, it’s like choosing between my kids.
