Habañero User Experience Group

Actually, this is one I am proud to have. I have been awarded my Professional Membership in the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada!

I’ve been a practicing designer for ten years now, and I finally decided to join the organization. It was an interesting process, as I had to prepare a portfolio of my work, along with an explanation of the strategies and considerations that formed the designs. I think the most unnerving part was knowing my work would be reviewed by my peers in the GDC on strategy, typography, use of imagery, implementation and presentation, and that I had to score well to become a member. I feel honoured to be recognized by my peers as a professional practitioner, and I am excited to be part of a supportive, creative community.

I’m pretty impressed so far with the open communication I have experienced within the organization, and I’m looking forward to getting out to the events to meet more of the community and share ideas. Above all, I can only hope this will help improve my work and to deliver more excellent value to our clients.
