Hello!
Hi, I’m Gabriel. As someone who has always been interested in tech, art, culture and people, I’ve worn many hats, but it wasn’t until I discovered a field I’m passionate about: Product Design.

After diving into UX fundamentals, I built upon my knowledge through courses and a degree in Interactive Media Design. This growth mindset has been a key part of my professional evolution and drives me to continually study, improve and adapt to become the best version of myself.

The experiences living in different countries and working across multiple industries—including administration, marketing, and customer service —has made me highly adaptable and versatile. A particular highlight was my time working for Booking.com campaign (Bilingual Customer Service), reinforcing my understanding of user needs across different cultures and markets – a crucial skill in creating inclusive, user-centered designs.

Currently based in Toronto, I’m working as a Product Designer for Ghabryal Law Group, where I’m helping develop solutions for a startup that combines social and e-commerce features. I approach each project with the same curiosity and eagerness to learn that has guided my journey so far. An opportunity to not only refine my craft but also to create meaningful experiences that truly make positive difference.
