Jordan profile photo

Hello, I'm Jordan, a dedicated user experience specialist proficient in user research, UX design, and front-end web development. My UX journey began in 2014 at Algonquin College’s Interactive Media Design program, setting the foundation for an enriching career.

I've been fortunate to contribute my expertise to esteemed organizations such as Algonquin College Applied Research, The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and the Sault Ste Marie Innovation Center.

In 2019, I returned to Algonquin College for the Interdisciplinary Studies in Human-Centred Design program, graduating with honors in April 2020.

My commitment to advancing user experience extends beyond my professional roles. During the summer of 2022, I had the privilege of imparting my knowledge as a UX design class instructor in the Interactive Media Design program at Algonquin College.
