My name is Will, nice to meet you!
I am a UX and product designer based in Vancouver, BC. I have over five years of product design experience in various industries including real estate, automotive, finance, education and more! I have designed products from end-to-end flows (concept to launch) as well as improving and iterating an existing product of a company.
My Design Journey
I always loved creating websites on WordPress and Freewebs growing up but didn’t enjoy my programming courses as much. Instead, I worked as a marketing coordinator after university for a company that hosts hackathons.
This became my first exposure to UI/UX design and the tech industry in general. I fell in love with prototyping software like Sketch and Adobe Xd and made a drastic career change. I sold my PS4, Gamecube, and collectors’ Pokemon cards to afford a second-hand MacBook Pro and enrolled in RED Academy’s UI UX designer Bootcamp.
During this transformative year, I worked part-time as a graphic designer while doing multiple freelance UX projects in the evening and attending hackathons on the weekends.
