About me

Hi there! I'm Debbie, a multidisciplinary designer born and raised in the small (so tiny that some maps don't even have it) and beautiful island of Mauritius, currently based in Toronto. I like to blend my technical skills to create meaningful, thought-provoking design experiences by merging technology with emotional connection.

I have over five years of professional design experience across various industries before moving to Canada, and hold a Design degree from Goldsmiths, University of London (UK). Throughout my career, I've gained experience across a wide range of design disciplines such as graphic design, web design, interior design, film and product design. I interned at various advertising and web agencies before becoming Design Lead at a startup company. Later, I transitioned to freelancing before pursuing further studies in multimedia design. These experiences have exposed me to the real-life application of design, and helped me develop strong communication, collaboration, and technical design skills, as well as the ability to adapt to diverse challenges.

What I believe makes my approach unique is, through my design experiences, I have learned to look at design and its possibilities as more of a combination of systems and actions rather than just a set of technical skills. This mindset drives me to question design's role in society and explore its possibilities, pushing the boundaries of what design can achieve.
