Job Title:  Senior Designer

When did you start at Giffen?: September 2021

What office are you based in? Vancouver

What inspired you to join the team here?  Wanting to try a smaller more personal company.

What is the best advice you could give to a brand-new employee?  Try not to rush your experience and try to learn everything at once. Learn a bit every on every job and implement what you learned on the next.

When did you first know that you wanted to pursue a career in this field?  This is a career I never really thought I would do. I got hired out of BCIT and just stuck with it. Overtime it grew on me and thought I could be happy with this being my career.

What do you love most about your job?  I like the flexibility. I can work from home or come into an office. Working with great colleagues with knowledge and willing to share it.
