Hey there,

I'm Grace.

I’m a product designer who began their career as the quiet, artsy kid at the back of the classroom, constantly doodling in their workbooks. My combined passions for art, storytelling, and psychology brought me here, in a position where I can demystify the everyday problems of users and empower them with delightful experiences and solutions. I studied Global Business and Digital Arts at the University of Waterloo, and as a recent grad, I'm looking forward to my next chapter!

I spent a few terms building tech for social good at UW Blueprint as a product designer. I was on several projects partnered with NPO organizations to build products like web applications, dashboards, and e-commerce platforms. On my most recent and last term of Blueprint, I helped to facilitate strong culture and mentorship within the design team.
