About Me

Hi, I am Swakirti
​
Currently, I am a UX Designer at CGI working with clients in the Financial Industry. Previously I have worked as a UX Designer at ATB Financial. I graduated from University of Toronto with Master of Information in User Experience Design. I believe design thinking is a great way to understand the user and following the iterative method while designing is a complete framework. Having the opportunity of working on various projects at the University and at my current job has enhanced my listening, analytical, empathetic and storytelling skills.
​
In my free time I love to cook, bake, do yoga and meditation. I have been mediating since 13 years now and once a year I go for 5 day silence retreat which helps me connect with my inner self
