I'm Shane, a product designer
An S-shaped designer driven by joy to create better experiences for software—growing into product management.
Engineering @ University of Waterloo
Product Designer in Toronto
Shane is a soon-to-be engineering grad from the University of Waterloo who designs products that make complex systems feel simple. At OtO, Arctic Wolf, and Questrade, he’s learned how to gather requirements, collaborate with engineers, and turn technical needs into intuitive interfaces.
He doesn’t just design screens—he designs results. When he scaled a beta testing program from 16 to 55 participants, the goal wasn’t just growth—it was better communication between users and the team. That feedback loop led to real improvements in the product, and that kind of impact is what drives his work. What sets Shane apart is his drive to push past “good enough.” He’ll refine, test, and poke holes in his own work until it truly clicks.
Outside of work, Shane’s a competitive spirit who loves volleyball and cheering for his favorite teams and players. Other days, he slows down with a run, some photography, or a book on theology. If you're looking for someone who bridges design and engineering—and cares just as much about people as pixels—Shane brings the curiosity, skills, and wit to build products people genuinely love to use.
