All about Cathy

I’m a Toronto-based Creative Designer with 9+ years of experience shaping digital experiences across gaming, enterprise, and government environments. My work lives at the intersection of UX, UI, and design systems — where thoughtful interaction meets polished visual craft.

I specialize in turning complex requirements into user-centred flows, prototypes, and scalable design components. I’m passionate about accessibility, cross-functional collaboration, and using AI-assisted workflows to streamline creativity and delivery.

I’m also happiest outdoors — hiking, exploring new places, and travelling to unfamiliar places. Being on a trail or in a new city resets my perspective, sparks curiosity, and reminds me why I love creating meaningful things.

If you’d like to collaborate on a project, I’d be happy to hear from you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

 

I’m currently looking for my next full-time role.
Please reach out if you have an opportunity in mind!
