Keeping elementary school children in mind, we attempted to design a different experience of mathematics, one that requires children to use their bodies and to talk to each other in learning basic geometry.
View projectWho am I? I'm an award-winning Product Designer who thinks in systems. I'm currently consulting on everything concerning design and use of complex information systems. I've worked as a UX Designer for about 9 years designing for domains like enterprise, security, non-profit, learning, e-commerce and lifestyle.
What drives me? What I love most about design is the myriad opportunities to break bad status-quos - systems that are stuck in a rut because that's how they were always designed. I believe that the best way to design solutions is to understand a system through events, behaviors, and its structure.
What else do I love? Music, cooking and yoga are important creative outlets for me. I'm a carnatic, jazz, blues, and rock vocalist and have over 14 years of performing experience. Homely vegetarian food is my culinary specialty.
Availability
I'm currently open to remote opportunities or in Ontario, Canada where I'm looking to relocate. If you do have an idea for a collaboration, hit me up and we could do this over a hot cup of my special chai!
Experience
