Lead numerous journeys alongside a high-performing team to enhance the Scotiabank app experience and allow users to do more comfortably. Some projects include Scotia SelectPay, International Money Transfer, Quick Balance widget, Overdraft Protection, Help Centre redesign, etc. The app is currently the highest rated amongst the top 5 banks in Canada on both iOS and Android.

I created a design system to make design language cohesive across web and app platforms. As the sole designer on the team, my role functioned as a UI/UX designer, marketing designer, and illustrator. Along with enhancing the app’s functionality by creating new features, I also created repositories of assets that included illustrations, icons, deck templates, infographics, photos as a self-serving resource for the rest of the team. In the time, I not only worked on solutions for our users but also my team's processes to achieve outcomes efficiently.

Created documents and visual assets to communicate products and engage partnerships with governments, or sell directly to consumers.

Designed digital and print media such as motion graphics, brochures, posters, banners, and booklets.

Worked on projects for clients such as Delissio, Red Bull, Nike with varying design needs ranging from UI/UX, web design, packaging, and branding.

Designed and developed a website that serves as a resource for YSDN staff and students. Additionally, I started the YSDN YouTube channel and produced “How To” videos to help students use complex equipment.

I dedicated my time creating spreads and representing subjects in a well-informed manner while experiments with visual layouts.
