About Me

Hi! My name is Julie and I'm a Sr. Product Designer of the Canvas Design System at Scotiabank. My first priority is ensuring all digital products adhere to an elevated quality of design outlined in the Canvas Design System to ensure a coherent experience for our customers. My work on user experience helps organizations translate their aspirations and the needs of their customers, and consumers into highly usable, compelling digital products – from websites to mobile apps. I have an eye for creativity and pixel perfection; with diverse knowledge in investigating user goals and workflows through usability testing and user research processes. I employ different use cases, surveys, heuristic evaluations, workshops, and contextual inquiry. My past experience at a lead Toronto Digital Marketing agency, I created strategic & operational plans; set key performance indicators (KPIs); evaluated competitors/risk, and conducted user research to formulate UX plans. In 2009, I obtained a Honors in Design Degree from York University and Sheridan College program for Design, graduating on the Dean's Honor roll.
