I believe design encourages new opportunities, allowing for new ideas to emerge or existing ones to be fixed. As a designer, I strive to find these opportunities to building greater experiences and products.

About Me


Hi! I’m Levona, a designer based in Vancouver BC. I hold a BSc in Interactive Arts & Technology (IAT) with a concentration in Design at SFU. I initially started in Chemistry, and after 2 years decided to switch directions and embrace my passion for visual design and product design.

I’m currently a UX designer/developer at Kashoo. Prior to Kashoo, I worked as a freelance designer for Rectxt, and held internships at the Mothers Matter Centre, City of Surrey, and Scentuals Body Care.

I love to explore and experiment by with hands-on work. I believe design is a way of thinking, as well as tool to communicate an idea to a broader audience. I’m passionate about finding solutions to real world problems, from complex social issues to improved experiences and services encountered in daily life. I believe design encompasses every aspect of our society and we can continue to improve it.

My interest in design, travels with me to my personal life, where I create custom cards for peers and coworkers. Beyond my interests in design, I am a badminton enthusiast playing every week.A foodie by nature, I am also on the lookout for new foods to try in and around Vancouver at every opportunity.
