Hi, I'm Vylan!

I’m a visual and UX/UI designer with a multidisciplinary design background

Away from my laptop, you’ll find me sketching with ballpoint pens, devouring an obnoxious amount of novels, or trying out something new—like joining a dragon boat team.

I’m currently based in Metro Vancouver, Canada and open to full-time and freelance opportunities.

If you’re looking for a meticulous designer or have a life-changing book recommendation, let’s chat!

(BTW, you might have been wondering how my name is pronounced. I’ve gotten everything from villain to violin. It’s Vee-Lan.)

What's in my toolkit?
