Before starting my career in product design, I graduated from UBC Sauder School of Business with one question in mind: How can I find creative solutions in the Finance realm? I have always been a big fan of visual arts and storytelling. Over the years, I did film storyboards for student directors, I told brand stories when I worked in retail, and ultimately I created video content about my own stories that ended up with 60k followers on social media platforms. As a user-centred thinker with customer service experience, I’m passionate about solving problems that make life easier while meeting business goals. Hence I love breaking down complex problems so that everyone can easily access finance products. My experiences in Figma, front-end
