About Me

Hello! I'm Summer. I'm a Brand & Product Designer with a keen interest in research. I'm skilled at branding, wireframing, prototyping, mobile design and talking to humans. I am super jazzed about Speculative Design and Sci-Fi.

I've been a user-centric designer for several years, starting in Interior Design. In Interior Design, I focused on creating accessible washroom spaces that didn't look institutionalized.

After an injury, I had to leave the field, eventually bringing me to Brand Design via UX/UIU. Like any good designer, I have a winding path full of exciting experiences. I got my start in tech by learning to code. When I heard the term UX Designer, I knew that was the direction I needed to head. My odd combination of psychology and design came together for the first time. And it fulfilled my work-life goals to utilize my natural design talents to create better experiences. Huzzah!!!

I’m an advocate of building better experiences through evidence-based design and love exploring human nature. I get excited about working with cross-functional teams to creatively tackle tough problems. I get really excited about human behaviour and the power of design to bring about change.

In my downtime, I like to wander around the forest, finding new plants to identify. I'm fortunate to live near a few conservation areas, so I roam whenever my heart desires, which is more than I care to admit. I also read, eat, and practise my jokes on my cat; she's a tough audience, so it makes me work harder.

My dream role is to work on a cross-functional, remote team building better experiences for underserved communities.
