      I work on fully custom, partially custom, and 3rd party e-commerce web-apps. Recently, we used Shopify to create an e-commerce site to sell trees to make our city greener. I also I created an online service for Surrey citizens to request Traffic Camera footage in the case of incidents or general inquiry. I was the sole/lead designer on both projects. I worked closely with a business analyst during the discovery and requirement phase; the content writer during design iterations; and the developer during the development phase to iron out technical details and constraints. My role ranged from hand sketches, to mockups in Sketch, Invision Prototypes and conveying the designs Invision to the development team.I am currently working on a Online Services Design System to align our product and vision over the 5 years of growth we’ve had using Invision DSM

      I helped customers find the perfect frame and lens that fits their style and budget.
