Welcome!
This is a small look into the working life of Melodie, located in Toronto. I am a seasoned User Experience Developer with almost 15 years of experience in creating user-centric design solutions as well as sometimes wearing a business analysis hat. I am a strong advocate for the use of Design Systems to drive consistency, maximize AODA compatibility and ensure a seamless user experience. I enjoy working with stakeholders and subject matter experts to learn how current systems work, and eliciting requirements for improvements.
