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

Optical Dispenser

Jul 2012 - Dec 2014
I helped customers find the perfect frame and lens that fits their style and budget. From the moment they step into the store to the moment they leave the store I was there to help their optical needs. I evaluated their style and personal aesthetic by looking at their face shape, clothing style and personality. My customers were happy with the frames I chose for them! I organized and conducted the December 2014 inventory count and audit. I helped customers find the perfect frame and lens that fits their style and budget.
