Hello! Iโ€™m Charlene and I strive to make impact through designing inclusive, accessible solutions for people like you.

Iโ€™m a recent Design graduate at York/Sheridan (YSDN) based in Toronto, passionate about delivering impact through meaningful experiences. Overtime, my love for design has been able to transcend across many mediums and disciplines. With personal interests in textile and fashion design, I've gained an interest in building e-commerce brands, including my own, and learned the importance of building memorable relationships with audiences by creating successful visual identities. Later being introduced to marketing design, I learned designing as a means to solve business problems and developed an interest in understanding consumer behaviour and the ways in which products drive people to engage. Eventually, my love for exploring the multi-faceted nature of design and the ways these different areas intersect with the user experience has led me towards product design. With previous projects focusing on health, mental and social wellness, and inclusivity, my work is driven by the opportunity to collaborate and contribute my visual and marketing design and UX/UI skills to generate positive change.
