Hey I'm Gillian! I'm a Toronto based product designer, and a graduate from York University / Sheridan College Design Program (YSDN). I love tackling complex problems by asking questions and investigating further through research.
I believe in the importance of balancing business goals, while building seamless product experiences that is driven by customer research and a human centred design process.
When I'm not designing, I enjoy attending community meetups, travelling, practicing yoga and exploring the world of e-commerce.
