What I Bring to the Team
🖼️
Design Background
I design with an attention to detail that makes everything feel more intentional.
Coming from graphic design, I approach product work with a trained eye for the things that elevate an experience: tight typography, intentional spacing, cohesive visual systems. I help teams deliver products that feel polished and consistent without sacrificing clarity or speed.
I'm also leaning into AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code and Midjourney to push my process forward and explore new ways of working.
🧩
End-to-end Problem Solver
I drive projects end to end, from the early thinking stages to final delivery.
From my previous role as Design Lead at Canlan Sports.
I’ve owned projects from insight to execution, flows, prototypes, systems, and final polish. I’m comfortable driving the work, shaping direction, and delivering clear, user-centred outcomes.
🤝
Collaborative
I like to make collaboration feel more like a team sport than just a simple handoff.
As a design leader, I've helped shape team culture by creating alignment, building processes that actually help, and fostering environments where people feel supported, empowered, and excited to contribute. I work cross-functionally with ease and care about making collaboration feel fun and always like a shared win.
Why I’m Drawn to
Wealthsimple
Values
Joining a team that’s building something meaningful is important to me. Wealthsimple’s mission to help people achieve financial freedom is something I believe has real social impact. I've been a longtime user and have watched the product evolve in thoughtful ways, so the chance to contribute to its future feels both exciting and personal.
The Role
What excites me about the Staff role is the chance to influence product direction while still staying close to the craft. I like working through complexity, refining systems, and helping teams create clear, thoughtful experiences. Wealthsimple’s challenges feel like the kind of work where my thinking and leadership can make a real impact.
Culture
I've consistently heard great things about the people and environment at Wealthsimple. As a team lead in my last role, I prioritized shaping culture, and I value workplaces where people feel supported, motivated, and connected. Your commitment to educating and empowering people aligns closely with the kind of work I want to be part of.
