Principal Product Designer

I’m an experienced design leader and product designer, who loves working across UX, UI and collaborating with code and ML engineering in exciting ways. With 8 years experience in senior Product Design and Lead roles, I’m currently a Principal Product Designer in Content & Discovery department at Canva, where I enjoy figuring out the many ways in which technology and creativity can come together to make something beautiful—and make the world a better place. Feel free to contact me on LinkedIn for a chat.
