Hi, I'm Cynthia!
I'm a multidisciplinary designer with experience in various types of design, ranging from branding and design systems, to advertising and marketing, to product design. I enjoy creating interesting, fun visuals and helpful, engaging user experiences.
With an additional background in marketing, I seek a deeper understanding of the why's and the how's to create informed work that works for both the consumer and the business.
Timeline
Graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2020
Worked at Ubisoft and most recently, Aimlabs, to combine my love for gaming with my passion for design
Open to new opportunities in Canada and the US! I'd love to hear from you - feel free to get in touch!
More about me!
I like to learn about languages & cultures
I've self-studied Japanese, Korean, and am a Spanish heritage speaker. I'm currently learning Mandarin Chinese.
Besides being able to understand more content (which means more inspiration!) I've been able to reference cultural context that has saved the team from committing taboos, or allowed us to lean into specific audiences. Woot!
I'm an avid gamer
Gaming is a huge source of my creative inspiration.
I could spend hours talking about my favorite games, the user experiences behind them, and the memories I've had playing with others.
P.S Yes, I still play Neopets! It is still alive and thriving!
I've lived all across the world!
I was born in New York City, but I've lived across the US, Germany, and finally ended up here in Canada.
These experiences allowed me to gain different perspectives and helped me overcome the challenges that come with designing for different audiences.
I love learning and going down rabbit holes
I often listen to podcasts, video essays, and documentaries about intriguing subjects and forgotten stories.
I strongly believe this actually makes people better designers; it fosters a great sense of intellectual humility.
