HELLO! HI, WELCOME.

I am currently pursuing my Masters of Design at OCAD University, focusing on strategic foresight and innovation. This is an old portfolio website, but I've left it up for posterity's sake. I am doing much more writing and research, which is hard to meaningfully capture on a portfolio website.

LinkedIn Medium Instagram

I have a foundation in interdisciplinary design: of looks and things, of experiences, and everything in between, a line to connect dots. My best (and worst) quality is asking, "Why?" These are some pieces from 2011-2018.

my name is complicated, but it's pronounced as 'quin.'

like quintessential. quince pie. quintastic. wait, that last one isn't a word.
