I am a User Experience Designer with a Master's in Digital Media. I build impactful digital solutions that solve real-world problems, drive business values, connect and resonate with people from all walks of life.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO SFU?

I was doing Finance during my undergrad, and I'd always wanted to become a designer who would be comfortable doing design and understanding business at the same time. Luckily enough, SFU and the Centre for Digital Media (CDM) made this possible by providing me with the opportunity and resources, as well as the practical learnings needed in my career transition.
