I worked on the on the Kraft Heinz account as a people lead and design lead overseeing the platform team. Helping them build a new design system that could go from a single brand to a white labeled experience across hundreds of brands both locally and internationally. This was a large discovery process, doing an assessment of their multiple design systems, internal and external teams to lay out a foundation for a single system that could be used by all brands in all countries. The use of Design Tokens through Token Studio and FIgma helped with building out this solution. A close relationship with technology to find a seamless way to integrate the design tokens from the Figma side into their use of Tailwind and Contentful. The build out of the Primitive, Semantic and Branded tokens was done by myself as well as all project roadmaps, epics and discovery work. On top of this I oversaw the design team's day to day work from within the platform team as well as helped build out a design operations process that currently didn't exist with the project managers. This lead to a better sense of resources and utilization to capitalize on the efficiency and output of the team.

Being one of the first 3 members in Deloitte’s Experience Design team, I had direct say in the way the team was built, sold and structured. Looking at the market and ever changing landscape of product design, I set my focus on adopting a cohabitation between traditional product design model and consultancy. Implementing the design methodology following Atomic Design while enforcing the use and sales of design systems both internally and to our clients. In my early years at Deloitte Digital, design operations were my primary focus to make sure the team succeeded in an agile environment. These early steps set the foundation for a successful team. Day to day my role now involves creative oversight of ongoing projects, as well as elevating the consistency and craft of a cross functional design team.

I worked primarily in the interactive department at Grip on such accounts as Anheuser-Busch, Honda, Acura, Yum, Torstar, Johnson & Johnson, P&G, and CGA. Which lead me to be very proficient in an interactive and mobile space. Grip taught me to think outside the box from creating the first interactive beer can to working on the first social campaign in Canada to receive a million likes.
