Hello, I'm Abigail!
Toronto native and local. Master's graduate from the University of Toronto's iSchool. Previous urban planning and GIS undergraduate at McMaster University.
My design ethos is driven by an amalgamation of two extremes¹—diving head-first into chaos, a subtle moment of breakdown, then proceeding through all the necessary steps to meticulously see an idea to its end. My favourite projects involve a strong emphasis on context-building and direction, coupled with aesthetic and intentional design.
When I'm offline, I enjoy working with my hands: cooking, houseplants, and mechanical keyboards. I also have an Einstein of a dog who likes to keep me on my toes.
