I'm a designer, game developer, and photographer.

Currently I work as a Director of UX at Shopify.

With over 20 years of experience, I've worked at some amazing places—like Mozilla, Polar and Wattpad, after getting my start as a freelance consultant. I'm also an entrepreneur and have built products like the hashtag manager Jetpack, the beautiful Muskoka: The Board Game, and created the award-winning, beloved indie game Lastronaut.

Selected Work

Projects I've designed, directed or built from scratch.

As the Director of UX for Shopify Retail, I built and led the research, product design and industrial design teams. I was responsible for the overall strategy, design and direction of our hardware and software experiences.

Jetpack is an app I built in Swift and SwiftUI, with a backend I wrote in Ruby on Rails.
