Hey, I’m Hsiyun

When I first came to Canada at 16, I found out that geese here cross the road boldly and fiercely, without fear from humans. Since then, my dream has been to become a Canadian goose in my next life.

Unfortunately, I ended up becoming a pretty good product designer instead. Interestingly, I began my journey majoring in East Asian Studies (which was a little boring) and psychology at the University of Toronto. One thing led to another, I went to Milan to study fashion design where I discovered my interest in design.

I have always felt that all design is the same—from clothing to architecture to UI and UX design—the ultimate goal of design is to improve the lives of the people using the product.

In addition to design, I also love photography, baking, and snowboarding. If you like these things too, then we have something in common!

Oh, right! And I also used to design for Beijing Vogue!
