My time as a Product Designer at RewardOps was an enriching opportunity that allowed me to grow as a design professional. As the sole designer on the team, I was responsible for improving our user interfaces, expanding the body of knowledge about our user base, and most importantly, launching new products. 

Hired as a contract worker for Bell under their Business Markets division as a User Experience Analyst, I assumed the role of Lead Business Analyst and UX Designer on a modernization project with the Government of Alberta. 

My first position after graduating saw me take on the role of UX/UI Designer for a 15-person startup security intelligence firm that helped shape my early career as a designer. Reporting directly to the CTO, I was tasked with improving the interface and user experience of an MVP dashboard web application while implementing preliminary but foundational design processes.

During my 16-month long internship I was exposed to a variety of roles and responsibilities that served to broaden my skill set so early in my career. I learned a great deal about meteorology and forecasting while also gaining an appreciation for how government systems broadly function, specifically how they deliver software.
