Vancouver, Canada

Hey! I'm Sid, a designer and freelancer based in Vancouver, Canada. I'm currently working as a Sr. Product Designer at Xero.


I'm also an amateur powerlifter and spend a fair bit of time at the gym. In between all of that, I enjoy brewing coffee in all sorts of ways–current favourite is the Kalita wave, trying out new foods and just spending time with my partner and two dogs.

Before Xero, I spent just over 2 years at Jarden, working on many design pieces as part of a small in house design team but primarily focused on building a new client management system for their team of financial advisers and redesigning the sign up experience which also involved building out a dual theme design system.

I also really enjoy interacting with designers and design communities. I set up New Zealand's first Friends of Figma chapter in Wellington in 2022 and have been mentoring designers via ADPlist since 2021.

Some nice words from people I've interacted with:

Sid had great insights from narrowing a job search to constructing a portfolio. Highly recommend a session with him!

He gave me the most constructive feedback as someone who has just started to build a career and pointed out stuff that I didn't even think about.

The session with Sid was really enjoyable! He provided me with some valuable suggestions for starting my first internship. After our conversation, I am more knowledgeable about how to navigate my UX journey. Sid is a great mentor! Thank you.
