Speaker Bio
I am an association executive and designer living and working in Montréal. Since 20212, I have been working with the volunteer leadership of IxDA to grow the international interaction design community and build strategic initiatives that advance IxDA's mission and vision. I manage distributed teams for initiatives that include an annual 1000+ person conference, a global design awards scheme, a student design challenge and an education summit. Previously, I was Managing Director of ICoD.

Since 2005, I've worked in more than 25 countries—bridging cultures, language and timezones to use design for progressive change.

My design work has been recognized nationally and my technical writing has been awarded by the Canadian Business Press.

I am a member of the Mandela Poster Project Collective (MPP), a founding board member of Data Interoperability Standards Consortium (DISC) and an avid runner.
