Hire the Best UX Researchers in Toronto, ON

I help businesses build digital products that people actually want to use, by combining the rigour of a researcher with the craft of a designer. With 8+ years in UX research (from academic studies to usability testing and quantitative analysis) and 4 years designing web and mobile products, I work at the intersection of data and design. That means every recommendation I make is grounded in evidence, and every design decision has a clear "why" behind it. What I bring to your project: UX research & usability testing - uncovering what's really blocking your users Wireframes, user flows & prototypes in Figma - from early concepts to developer-ready specs Design audits - identifying friction points and aligning your product with accessibility and conversion best practices Storytelling across mediums - websites, apps, illustrations, and video, to communicate ideas clearly Past work has led to measurable improvements in session duration and bounce rates. I care about outcomes, not just deliverables.

I'm a Senior Product Designer with 9+ years of experience across enterprise platforms, fintech, and immersive technology. I've shipped real products at scale, and I can build them too. On the design side, I've led end-to-end UX for complex digital products at BMO (investment platform, design system, eDocuments) and TD (small business insurance quoting flow), as well as 0-to-1 product work at Lumeto (XR training platform, 15,000+ Ontario users) and Snap Inc. (ML-integrated AR lens). My work spans UX strategy, interaction design, accessibility (WCAG), and design systems. I thrive on problems that sit at the intersection of business complexity and user behaviour. On the build side, I design and ship. My most recent solo build is Anchor, taken from zero to launch: product design, front-end development, and deployment, all one person. I build with React, TypeScript, and JavaScript, and use AI-assisted workflows (Claude Code, Codex, Replit) to ship fast without cutting corners on quality.I can also integrate APIs, build automation workflows with Make, and connect AI tools into product experiences. This hybrid means you get a senior design brain and someone who can actually execute, without needing a separate developer for every decision. What I work on: product UX for web and mobile apps, fintech and enterprise platforms, AI-powered product builds and MVPs, design systems, accessibility audits, and growth-focused e-commerce design. If you need polished, strategic design work that can go further than a Figma file, let's talk.
