Meet Richard

Growing up in Toronto exposed me to a city with a strong demand for good design. Being a Designer in Toronto has always made me feel the urge to push beyond what is easiest and to truly develop fluid, thoughtful experiences.

I currently design for University of Toronto Esports and freelance with businesses around the world. Outside of design, I play card games like Riftbound and MTG, digital games such as Teamfight Tactics and Minecraft. I also collaborate with my friends on Roblox projects, and love watching League of Legends esports!

My Core Values

Accessibility Comes First

Inaccessible design is invisible. Good design works for everyone.

Understand and Empathize

Understanding and empathy create experiences that support users rather than forcing them to adapt.

Raise the Standard

Design should push beyond what’s expected while intentionally improving the quality of the user experience.

I like making things by hand, it’s super fun.
