About Me


Hello! My name is Jadon Kam, and I recently graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University with a Bachelor's Degree in User Experience Design. 

For two years during my studies, I worked on various digital and UX projects for Health Canada, specifically working as a Junior Digital Communications Officer for Canada's Food Guide. I started as a co-op student but after my co-op term ended, I continued to work there part-time while I finished school.

I decided to become a UX designer due to my love for design and my interest in solving problems. At a young age, I developed an interest in drawing and making crafts at school. As I grew older, I became interested in other art activities such as painting, going to art museums, and digital art. Realizing that I could apply this passion for design into my career, I chose to complete a 5 year program at Wilfrid Laurier University to prepare myself with the skills I needed to be a strong UX designer.

While I enjoy the visual design part of UX design, what really makes UX design special to me is how problem solving in UX is connected to having empathy with the users of a product. The ability to create or improve a product so that it has a positive or memorable impact on someone's life is one of the many reasons why I could not think of another job I would enjoy more than working in UX.

What are my skills?


What is my favourite project?

It is difficult for me to choose one project, so I will choose one in terms of the design process and one in terms of the final prototype design.


Focusing on the design process, my favourite project would be working with Rocket Homes to design a real estate website to help the blind and visually impaired learn about homes on the market. Through this project I was able to talk with and interview users with different types of visual impairments, learn how they use screen readers and other assistive technologies, and design a website that was focused on their needs and preferences. It was my first time working on a project that emphasized accessibility as its main priority, and as a result, it is also the project where I have learned the most. While the visual design of the final product was quite basic, as that was not the priority of the project, being able to hear the positive feedback from people with visual impairments when they used our prototype and being able to learn from them throughout the design process made this one of my favourite projects.


In terms of the final prototype design, my favourite project would be Travel Kitt. I loved creating fun activities and visuals for children to solve the problem of making travel information interesting and engaging for children. As someone who has enjoyed working as a summer camp counsellor in the past, thinking of activities that children would be interested in doing and designing them as part of the app was an enjoyable challenge. I also loved what my teammate and I were able to create visually, specifically the concept to have a digital book which families can keep to learn about places and remember their happy experiences on vacation.


What am I looking forward to learn more about?

I’m looking forward to continue learning about accessibility and inclusive design. Whether that’s designing interfaces or user research, I’m interested and believe it’s my responsibility as a UX designer to make sure users who need accessible features for sight, hearing, movement, etc. are included in my user-centred design process.
