About With a robust background in user experience and project management, I have honed my competencies in visual storytelling, specifically through my current venture at Aiello Photography. My mission is to uplift communities by capturing their essence through photography and video. Thanks to a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of user preferences, my expertise lies in creating content that resonates with audiences. I aim to align my values with my clients, bringing diverse perspectives and a holistic approach to each project. Previously, as a Product Designer at Benevity, I spearheaded critical payment feature redesigns and led accessibility initiatives, achieving a WCAG compliance score of 97%. My role involved empathy-building workshops and cultural contributions, especially advocating for 2SLGBTQIA+ awareness. While working with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, I modernized governmental processes and improved design workflows, impacting the visa application experience. My skills in Figma and workshop facilitation played a crucial role in these achievements.
