Timeline
June 1995 - Present
Developing a Designer over 10,000 Days
From making sure every stuffed animal was tucked in perfectly halfway under the blanket to an elaborate promposal that involved a personalized scavenger hunt and maybe one too many roses, making others feel valued has always been at the core of Suph.

PROBLEM
Sure, helping others sounds great, but so does covering rent.
I love helping others through empathy and problem solving. The challenge was finding a way to transform these skills into a sustainable profession.
THE CHALLENGE
1 out of every 1 Suph's want to make peoples' lives better…and buy groceries
VERSION 1
Have a seat, tell me how you really feel
I studied Psychology at York University with dreams of becoming a psychotherapist. I’ve always been great at understanding people and helping them put into words what’s been hard to express, and I love being part of that moment where they finally feel heard.
SORRY, REROUTING
But then a pandemic induced quarter-life crisis hit and I began rethinking things…
VERSION 2
"You should look into UX."
What my friend at the time didn't know was that I got straight 60's in my high school art classes, but I thought it couldn't hurt to give it a chance.

Staying Alive
Jun 1995 - Present
I've always had a passion for making people feel valued and understood.
And it's this passion that has always driven my career aspirations.
I can hold plastic rocks!
I love climbing! It's a perfect mix of physical challenge and problem solving. Plus, the community is so supportive!
Designing for the Community!
I volunteer for a local non-profit community organization where I create graphics and design slides for weekly events!
