Designer at Shopify

I'm a Product Designer with +10 years of expertise in crafting digital experiences for renowned brands and startups. I've led design teams, influenced product strategy and built brands from scratch. I'm currently at Shopify, working on the core Admin experience and building fulfillment workflows used by millions of merchants.

Outside of work, my wife and I run Rakabi, a food popup in Toronto serving up South Asian influenced food and highlighting local produce.
