My name is Sarah.
I bring a deep curiosity and creative problem-solving skills into building engaging and enjoyable experiences. I am an evangelist of human-centered design and an advocate for supportive design communities.
I am interested in the ways that users interact with products, from the first time to the hundredth. I am curious about the ways that users experience those products, and enjoy finding ways to improve the experience, by making it more intuitive and beautiful. I have a passion for digital media, and I love working with cutting edge technology: brainstorming, creating, designing, and refining the tools of the future.
I am currently the Principal UX Designer at Descartes Systems Group. I hold a Master’s in Digital Experience Innovation and a Bachelor’s in Knowledge Integration from the University of Waterloo in Canada.
I am currently located in Ontario, Canada and lived in Glasgow, Scotland from 2017 to 2019.
My Process
RESEARCH
Learning all I can about the users, the product, and the environment, for a more complete understanding.
DESIGN
From workflow to prototypes, influenced by continuous research and design standards.
ITERATE
Often, early, and with input from others on the team throughout the design process.
COMMUNICATE
I like to include as much of the team as possible, and focus on championing the final product.
