I’m Antoinette — I create and tell stories through design
I’m a student at the University of Waterloo studying Global Business and Digital Arts.
I grew up in Markham, Ontario, where being surrounded by so many different cultures and perspectives shaped the way I see the world. That’s really what drew me to design. I love exploring how people interact with products and communities, and how thoughtful design can actually make life a little easier and more meaningful.
My journey has led me to focus on UX and product design, where I can merge creativity with strategy to solve real-world problems. I’m driven by the belief that thoughtful design not only enhances usability but also has the power to shape how people feel, think, and connect.
Outside of my studies, I’m constantly experimenting with creative outlets, from visual design and interactive media to storytelling and digital experimentation. These keep me grounded and remind me that design at its core is about crafting experiences that resonate with people. :)

Some cool things I’ve been up to!
Between classes, my internships, and adventures outside of school (including some travels!), I’ve been able to grow in ways both big and small. Here are a few highlights from the past year. :)
