About Me

I have a graduate degree in Design and my research is presented as a case study in IDEO's Human-Centered Design Toolkit.

In the past, I have worked as a design researcher at Emily Carr University with a focus on design and health care. I recently worked on a project in Rwanda where I collaborated with local teams to design the packaging for a food fortification protocol. I have developed a course on design for social change and am currently a Senior Design Researcher at frog.
