Improving Canada’s Access to Mental Health & Substance Use Support

This project focused on redesigning a digital solution to support individuals facing mental health and substance use challenges. By engaging a vulnerable population, we ensured the design was intuitive, accessible, and aligned with users’ needs.

Through collaboration and empathy, we reimagined how government support could be delivered more effectively. Want to see how we made an impact? Read the full case study!

About

I care about designing with empathy and thoughtful research at the center. I am most motivated when I am listening closely, questioning assumptions, and navigating complex challenges. I enjoy mixed-methods research, but what I value most is working directly with users to help demystify what is really going on beneath the surface. From there, I love prototyping ideas, testing them in the real world, and collaborating with cross functional and multidisciplinary teams who enjoy the process.
