Hi! My name is Allen.

I'm a technologist and product designer based in Toronto, previously at TD Bank.

I dream big and apply systems thinking to design experiences that strengthen social fabrics and help underserved individuals, whether through civic tech, the arts, or our core institutions.

SELECTED UX WORKS

Three mockups of a concept showing "Do you want to take on a challenge"? "Where do you want to wander to"? (with options including park, library, restaurant, etc.), and a map demonstrating a user's location.

Creating Livelier Communities with Tech

In my final capstone project, I explored the intersections of UX and urbanism by asking "How might we increase students' belonging toward their peers and the municipalities they live in?"

MOBILE DESIGN

Two mockups of two different apps. One is a mobile dashboard depicting retirement goals and gig worker income streams. The other is a results page showing the best retirement strategy for someone, along with TD product suggestions.
