Get to know me!
My name is Shantia and I'm a 27-year-old Content Designer from Toronto, Canada.
I started my UX career by actually pursuing journalism, which wasn’t intentional but at the time, has taught me so much about human interactions, especially interactions involving design, communication and technology.
I later discovered my true passion was solving problems through accessible design!
Don't get me wrong! I still love writing, but advocating for better and more accessible design is my true calling.
​
Having previous experience with journalism has taught me transferable skills that I can use with confidence.
I transitioned to a career in UX/UI because naturally, I am venturesome and compassionate and will design for users to have experiences that are creative, fascinating and stress-free.
I aim to be a designer-advocate who puts people first, while also providing satisfaction to companies looking to bring users these experiences.
​
When I'm not thinking about design or daydreaming about my next solo trip, I like to spend my time reading, exploring the city, going to the gym, trying TikTok recipes at home, and binge-watching my favourite shows!
I can't wait to share my journey with you,
​

My current monthly favourites
Place
My favourite place at the moment is this cool cafeteria spot in Toronto called Chef's Hall. They feature kitchens from multiple different restaurants and always have fun activities that they host on weekends!
App
My favourite app/website this month is Spotify! Besides listening to a bunch of my favourite artists, I love how Spotify is constantly innovating the way we consume music and podcasts! The AI DJ is my favourite feature.
Show
I'm always looking for a new show to watch! If you have any suggestions feel free to send me some through my contact form! I'm excited for Physical 100 Season 2! This show motivates me to go to the gym more!
