My Lore
Often found furiously scribbling notes in the margins of a recipe book or layering washes of watercolor over ink drawings, I have always been inspired by the intersection of design, creative problem-solving, language and the call to dive deeper in my work.
With a background in linguistics, language learning and cultural studies, I bring a unique perspective to my profession as a UX designer and marketing professional.
Currently, I am working at the MUHC Foundation as a Digital Marketing Specialist who focuses on cultivating empathy, story telling, design thinking, and strategic segmenting for donor journeys through email marketing.
I am a self-taught designer with a degree in Linguistics and East Asian Studies from McGill and UX Design Certificate from Concordia University.
I enjoy a good book, will always take my teas hot even in the summer, and believe waffles are the best breakfast food.
True or False
-
True! Although I currently live in Montreal, I am from the U.S. and moved around a lot, living in six different states. I was homeschooled as a result before going to high school in New Jersey.
-
False (cries internally), but hopefully not for long! I love all animals, but I am definitely a dog person and noodle dogs have a special place in my heart for their silly, stubborn personalities.
-
False! I refuse to this day to watch Grave of Fireflies, but besides that, I have watched everything else including Pom Poko (if you know, you know). My favorite has to be Ponyo or Whisper of the Heart.
