An #introduction, or reconnection for those who used to follow me at that Bird thing: I’m a professional engineer and designer with a keen interest in #DesignLeadership, #DesignOps, #UX, #InfoDesign, #DataViz, and #Typography. I currently work as the Head of UX at a major financial software company, where I lead the UX research, product design, design operations, technical writing, and localization teams. Before moving to the tech sector, I worked in management consulting, and, prior to that, I was a mechanical and industrial engineer working in aerospace and defence. When I’m not at my day job, I teach design at OCAD, where I’ve been a faculty member for over a decade. I’ve lived in Toronto for most of my adult life but given that my employer is now permanently remote I recently moved to the small town of Stratford, where my partner @kteahen and I have a house which is about to undergo a major renovation.
