I studied Cognitive Systems at UBC, which is a fancy way of saying I got hooked on why people do what they do. I've been testing that on real products ever since, starting withEat n' Log, the food journaling app I founded in undergrad.
Right now I'm doing my Master of Digital Media at SFU and spending the fall in Ottawa as one half of the UX team at Nokia Deepfield, turning sessions with telecom operators into a dashboard that makes sense to them.

Tennis quickly became my favourite sport because it’s so physically and technically demanding. The smallest thing goes wrong and the ball is flying out of the court.
When it all clicks, I slip into a flow state for a few rallies, and it’s the best feeling in the world. I carry that into design: sweat the fundamentals, trust the reps, chase the moment it all comes together.
I was made to learn piano, so I rebelled and picked up the guitar instead. It’s been with me ever since. This is from one of my IB Music recitals, playing one of my favourite songs.
Roni loves people and would happily nap on your lap all day. She’s basically a cat. Her favourite toy is the colourful ball she’s staring down in the photo, and her favourite place is the beach.
The illustration is Eat n’ Log’s AI avatar, drawn after her.
My first car ever, passed down through the family. It’s still my favourite: simple, boxy in the best way, and the thing that first gave me a real sense of freedom.
I poured years into Eat n’ Log and learned more from it than from anything else. Getting it onto the App Store took an email to Tim Cook, but it launched, and I’m proud of it.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a good one
