About Me
Hey, I'm Deron!
I'm a senior product designer with 9 years of experience driven by curiosity!
How I Got Here
I started with a science degree from McMaster University, but wanted to focus on more creative and innovative initiatives. That led me to Sheridan College where I studied Interaction Design for 4 years and discovered my passion for solving problems through design. Since then, I've spent 4 years in restaurant tech at TouchBistro and 4 years in telecom building products for both B2B and B2C.
My Approach
I believe good design starts with understanding the people you're designing for through empathy, research, and validation. I love stepping into unfamiliar territory and learning new things, whether it's a new industry or technology.
Beyond Design
Outside of design, I've played tennis for 20 years and coached for 10. These days, you'll find me colour grading, crocheting, travelling, or learning about aviation through flight simulators.
What's Next
I'm currently exploring roles where I can tackle problems, collaborate with thoughtful teams, and keep learning. If you're building something challenging and meaningful, let's talk!
