Who is Christy Chan?

 

Here's a bit about myself. 

 

My name is Christy, and I'm a product designer based in Toronto, Ontario. Currently, I am studying User Experience Design in the Master of Information program at the University of Toronto. For those who know me well would probably describe me as a creative thinker, who is very honest and direct, ambitious, passionate and self-driven. On top of it, a total tech geek and fashion enthusiast! 

​

How I got here. 

For the past 5 years, I’ve been working across a wide range of creative industries, including: music, publishing, corporate and fashion. While completing my undergraduate degree in the Creative Industries at Toronto Metropolitan University, I have helped and led over 120+ leading print, interactive and digital design projects from conception to completion. However, I realized in a world where attention is at a premium, the need for inclusive and accessible design is critical to help ensure information is simple to navigate for the largest number of viewers possible.

 

What I like to offer. 

For every project that I work on, I like to add my expertise with colour, typography, and design tools to generate captivating layouts for solutions. My other skillsets aside from user research, user interface design, and accessibility include branding, editorial, social media designs, websites and marketing.

​

Aside from designing, painting, sculpting, and sketching have always been a hobby of mine since my fetus years. When I'm not working, I can be found travelling, trying out new cake recipes, and of course, shopping.
