Thanks for dropping by—
I have always been interested in how design can be used as a tool to help connect and bring people together.
I’ve recently made the shift from designing architecture for the 3D physical world at the macro-scale to the 2D virtual world at the micro-scale.
A little bit about me:
My passion lies in topics of social integration and connection.
In the past I’ve digitally modelled, designed, physically prototyped, illustrated and managed a wide range of projects in the private and public sphere.
Some of the work I’ve worked on beyond the flat screen include:
The City of Toronto Scarborough Subway Extension↗
The winning architecture competition proposal for Villiers, Balcons sur Paris↗
I’m currently pursuing a Master of Information at the University of Toronto↗ , with a focus on UX Design.
Beyond the flat screen:
In my screen-off time I enjoy creating miniature artworks on nails and DIY-ing anything and everything! I love trying new foods and travel to eat and sketch↗ my way around the world.
Architecture 🤝 UX
Both disciplines specialize in the curation spatial experience - only one is physical and the other digital. Same thought processes, different tools.
👉🏻 A Mirror Design Process
Architecture:
Analyze → Schematic Design → Iterate → Refine → Construct
UX Design:
Empathize → Define → Ideate → Prototype→ Evaluate → Develop
👉🏻 Empathizing
👉🏻 A focus on detail
No detail is considered too small. In UX, every interaction plays a crucial role in shaping the user experience, mirroring the meticulous approach in architecture, where every from large scale moves to the height of the floorboard is meticulously crafted.
