I am a second-year master’s student specializing in Information Architecture (IA) at Emily Carr University. With a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design and longest professional role at Amazon, I bring a unique interdisciplinary approach to IA, blending creative design principles with data-driven insights. My research centers on optimizing user experience through taxonomies, ontologies, and systems thinking. This research has informed projects and workshops I’ve conducted for both undergraduate students and industry professionals, exploring the nuances of hierarchical and faceted information ecosystems and their impact on user experience.
