Partner | Communication Design Lead
Design has become an integral part of my everyday life, and it is also a part of everyone else's everyday life even if they don't even realize it. This is why I love design and continue to pursue a career in this creative field. Following a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Design from Emily Carr University I have dipped my toes into the world of UX and UI through OCAD University. Visualizing has always been one of my key strengths from a young age since I started painting and drawing. Other interests of mine include photography, e-commerce, and exploring the great outdoors. Working with Astella Project has inspired me to advocate for health and wellness and help businesses achieve their goals in the industry.

Partner | Creative Design Lead
​
To be creative is who I am. Over the past few years I have been working on enhancing my craft as a designer, learning the overall practices of what it means to be a good designer. I love telling a story through design with the use of empathy and design thinking. The main goal with each client is to create intentional designs the reflect the core of the product or service for my clients audiences'. In the ever shifting world of modern design I draw from my creativity, and branch out to the ever evolving community to provide new and fresh concepts.
I graduated from Emily Carr University of Art & Design in 2018, where there is a focus on community engagement, design research, design process and user-considered design. I have been working as an in-house designer for Paris Orthotics and Paris everyBODY for the past year and a half really getting to know the great need for design in the health and wellness sector.
