Born and raised on an acreage outside of Cranbrook, BC, Canada. I went to have degrees in science and education and taught biology in Sydney Australia before returning to Canada where I began to pursue my career in technology and design. Originally, I pursued a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology where I studied factors that technology adoption in students. I eventually realized that I wanted to be more creative than academic so I transitioned to studying interactive design at the Vancouver Film School and fell in love with UX. I had always loved the computer interfaces in Star Trek and I am inspired to create efficient and elegant interactions between humans and their technology.
