About Me

Hi, I am Swakirti
I am a UX Designer at CGI working with financial industry clients (previously at ATB Financial). I hold a Master of Information in User Experience Design from the University of Toronto.
I believe in design thinking as a way to truly understand users, and in iteration as a complete framework for getting to the right solution. These skills sharpened through listening, analysis, empathy, and storytelling across every project I take on.
In my free time I love to cook, bake, do yoga and meditation. I have been mediating since 17 years now and once a year I go for 5 day silence retreat which helps me connect with my inner self
