I design interfaces and build them, from first sketch to shipped code.
For everyone.
The CMS behind Animikii's client websites. Our developers build and customize a site with it, then the client takes over and runs the content: text, images, settings. I was one of the developers on it for about three years, working on the UI we redesigned and the settings we reorganized.
Websites I built for Animikii's clients on top of the Chinuk CMS. Each one arrived as an approved design from our designer, and my job was making the CMS produce it, with custom blocks wherever it couldn't get there on its own.
Animikii's discovery process with Indigenous partners, usually for a community archive. I work out who needs access to what, write the user stories that follow, and take the design through user flows, a site map and a clickable prototype. It all goes into a report the partner owns and can build from, with us or with anyone.
I'm a developer and designer based in Toronto. I started in architecture, moved into UX/UI design, and now build for the web, which means I care as much about how something feels to use as how it's built.
These days I'm a UX/UI Developer and Designer at Animikii Indigenous Technology, where I get to work on products with real purpose. I lean toward work that's accessible, thoughtful, and built with empathy for the people using it.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, playing indie video games, keeping up with the tech world, and hunting for a good coffee machine (that last one is a recent obsession!)
