I’m a product designer with 5+ years using research and data to shape product decisions, and design systems to ship them consistently across teams.

About

Hello! I’m Anderson, but you can call me Andy.

I work across the whole product cycle: framing problems with research and data, designing the flows and interfaces, and building the design systems that let teams ship them consistently. I care most about products that feel obvious to the people using them, even when the system behind them is complex.

Recently I shaped UX strategy for Langara College’s academic planner, built for its 23K+ students. Before that, I was a product designer at Clinside, a web-based health records platform I rebuilt on a token-based design system.

I also teach the UX/UI design process at Cornerstone College. Explaining the why behind every decision keeps my own practice sharp.

Skills

UX Research & Strategy

I start with people. Interviews, usability tests and data help me understand real needs and turn them into a clear direction the whole team can rally around.

Product & Interface Design

From flows and wireframes to polished UI, I design products that feel intuitive and align business goals with what users actually need, iterating closely with engineers and stakeholders.

Teaching & Mentoring

I teach the UX/UI design process from research to prototype. Explaining the why behind every decision keeps my own practice sharp and grounded.

How I work

I make the big calls early so teams build instead of re-debating direction, and I bring users in as collaborators, not just research subjects. I design systems rather than one-off screens, so new work is assembled and accessible by default. And I can ship my own work end to end, which keeps my designs honest about what engineering takes.

Outside of work

I love staying active and exploring the outdoors. I enjoy long walks around new places, watching good movies, and eating pizza whenever the opportunity arises.

I'm also passionate about photography and capturing nature on my travels, always looking for new perspectives and experiences. And when I’m not designing, I’m usually tinkering with a small side project.
