CV

A seasoned design leader with over 13 years of experience building everything from fin-tech, marketplace to pharma-tech.

 

I like to lead through example and empathy. I’m a people person that likes to empower and elevate.

Director, Product Design

Nesto

Remote, Montreal Quebec

Feb 2024 - Present

I’m currently leading the design team at Nesto, working to make the mortgage process more accessible and transparent for all Canadians. Since joining, I’ve had the privilege of scaling our design org from a small trio to a robust team of eight. My focus is on setting the strategic direction for our product experience, though I still love "getting my hands dirty" and staying deeply involved in the design process itself.

Product Designer

Nesto

Remote, Montreal Quebec

May 2022 - Feb 2024

I was responsible for the hands-on execution and end-to-end design of Nesto’s core consumer application and middle-office platforms. This included developing our AI-driven underwriting system and building out the foundational design system to ensure a high level of craft and consistency across these key product areas.

Staff Product Designer

AppDirect

Remote, Montreal Quebec

Feb 2021 - May 2022

As Lead Designer for the Marketplace division, I was responsible for the end-to-end user experience and product strategy. I also served as a primary driver in modernizing AppDirect’s design system, overseeing the evolution of our component library, brand implementation, and the underlying operational workflows.

Product Design Lead

Montrium

On-site, Montreal Quebec

Jan 2017 - Dec 2020

In this second phase at Montrium, I stepped into a leadership role to scale a "small but mighty" design department, balancing strategic growth with high-level execution. While I was responsible for building out the team and architecting our cross-functional workflows, I remained deeply hands-on, directly designing the core product and our evolving design system to ensure we maintained a high bar for craft while maturing our operational standards.

Founding Designer

Montrium

On-site, Montreal Quebec

Feb 2014 - jan 2017

As the founding designer at Montrium, I spearheaded the digital transformation of the pharmaceutical experience by introducing state-of-the-art technology to the industry. As the inaugural design hire, I was responsible for architecting the company’s end-to-end UI/UX infrastructure—defining the frameworks, processes, and design standards that established how the organization approaches product design.
