Hello there! I’m Emily, a mixed-methods researcher and UX designer based in the GTA.  

As a part of award-winning UX teams, I’ve had the great fortune of working on various projects across industries and design challenges. Formally trained, I’m a 3rd year (junior) User Experience Design student, minoring in Psychology @wlu.

With 3 years of experience working on cross-functional teams, I have experience in design, product and project management, as well as user researcher roles. I am a user advocate who champions accessibility, and simplistic design solutions that honours both an empathetic, user-centered approach and fulfils the necessary business requirements.

My involvement in the school community keeps me engaged and connected during the academic school year as a Campus Ambassador and an Advisor for the First Year Leadership Program. When I’m not working on design projects or mentoring first year students, I enjoy playing Minecraft, sipping on bubble tea, and keeping my Duolingo streak alive.
