About
I am a recent graduate of the Industrial Design program at Carleton University. Through my education and work experience I have gained extensive knowledge of manufacturing, ergonomics, human factors, and user testing. Using a broad range of tools I am able to approach complex design problems with a wide angle and narrow them down to a fine focus. I am a strong team player, with an ability to draw on the strengths and knowledge of multi-disciplanry teams and collaboratively develop human-centred design solutions.
