About Me

Hi, I’m Violet and I’m a design researcher and UX strategist based in Toronto, Canada.

Whether facilitating a discovery session, synthesizing research findings, or stage managing a UX conference, I thrive in situations where harmony, delight and flow are used to measure success. I see this realized in my work as a UX (now Service Design) professional, part-time event producer and DJ.

About 10 years ago, I discovered the human-centred design process and never looked back. I’m known for being a devoted champion of  “the user experience”.  Since then, I have used a healthy mix of experience design, visual thinking and design research skills to co-create human-friendly experiences for millions of people. Along the way, I’ve applied my passions for design facilitation and knowledge-sharing to help organizations cultivate a robust and inclusive human-centred design practice. I am especially inspired by projects which propel storytellers, social good and win-win scenarios.

I’m my spare time, you might find me shaping clay, teaching my cat Zoot tricks, mentoring up and coming talent or listening to music that moves me.  I also enjoy helping people connect, learn new skills and enjoy life.
