A few projects worth a closer look.

UI/UX ยท Campaign

Four Seasons Careers

Designed a complete career website framework for Four Seasons โ€” full page set, variable email templates, and a custom icon system โ€” built to work seamlessly across light and dark modes and to hold up across every format the brand needed.

Front-end ยท Service

Lil Site (Linktree)

Designed and built a link-in-bio tool aimed at a sub-2-minute signup, with a CSS tiling system built to adapt cleanly across devices โ€” while research into retrieving live social thumbnails surfaced a platform-API constraint that ultimately shaped the project's scope.

Tools used

  • HTML / CSS
  • JavaScript
  • Figma
  • Photoshop

Front-End ยท Product

WatchParty (Twitch + Netflix)

Designed and built a livestreaming platform inspired by Twitch and Netflix, focused on solving a discovery problem โ€” most users on livestreaming platforms struggle to find content โ€” through a UI built around fast browsing and a mobile layout optimized for watching, searching, and chatting at once.

  • JavaScript
  • Figma

UI/UX ยท Iconography

Monster Careers

Monster needed a templated careers website solution for businesses looking to hire talent. I designed a 1 page funnel, interactive mockups, and email templates while reducing production time by 15% through improved documentation and prototyping practices

Designer, built like a builder.

I've spent the last decade freelancing across UI/UX design, front-end development and marketing for companies most people have heard of โ€” which means I'm used to moving fast, protecting the brand, and making the deadline regardless.

Alongside design I write my own front end, so what I hand off isn't just a comp โ€” it's something that's already been thought through in the browser. Currently based in Ajax, ON, open to remote design and development roles.

  • Brand & Visual Design

    Identity systems, logo lockups, and visual language built to hold up across print, digital, and campaign work โ€” the kind of design that still looks right in someone else's hands a year later.

  • UI / UX Design

    Interfaces designed around how people actually behave, not just how a flow looks in a deck โ€” wireframes through to high-fidelity, component libraries, and interaction detail that developers can build from directly.

  • Front-End Development

    Comfortable in HTML, CSS, and JS well past the point most designers stop โ€” meaning handoff is faster, feedback loops are shorter, and nothing gets lost in translation between design and build.

  • SEO & Funnels

    Landing pages and site structure built with search and conversion in mind from the start โ€” not bolted on after launch. On-page SEO, page speed, and clear conversion paths that turn traffic into actual leads, not just visits.
