My Design Identity

My journey started with a passion for sneakers and sports performance, mixed with a desire to design for the likes of Nike and Adidas. The melodies of Pharrell, Mac Miller, and J. Cole ignited my creativity and curiosity, leading me to the field of Industrial Design. There, I learned everything about product development, design thinking, and how to apply these methodologies in any field.

Today, I am a dedicated design professional passionate about creating strategic and innovative solutions that deliver tangible value for businesses. With expertise in UX research, product development, and brand strategy, I thrive on challenges that spark my creativity and enhance my skills. My goal is to become a leader in my field by consistently leveraging design, research, and scientific methods to deliver exceptional work.

 

My Areas of Expertise

My journey has shaped my expertise in creative applications, encompassing product development, business strategy, and more. I leverage this diverse knowledge to bring user-centered innovations to life. My approach is rooted in extensive research and meticulous design, enabling me to formulate strategic solutions that cater to user needs while elevating business value.

 

My Current Focus and Next Steps

At the moment, I am concluding my Master of Science in UX at HEC Montreal's Tech3labA laboratory that specializes in user experience (UX) evaluation in the context of business technologies. The research conducted at the Tech3Lab is characterized by the use of tools from neuroscience to develop a rich understanding of the experience lived by users, whether consumers, employees or citizens interacting with technology.

Next, I'll be working as a XR design researcher for L'institut National du Sport du Québec (INS Québec) on an ongoing project that focuses on evaluating and optimizing the design of a VR boxing simulator for the National Canadian Boxing team.
