A Little Bit About Me
My name is Cimran Jassal, I am a UX designer and storyteller, originally from the United Kingdom but raised in Vancouver, Canada. I developed a fascination with human behaviour, design and the power of storytelling from an early age. This led me to a career in film & television working in the set design department.
After paying my dues and working in the industry for a few years I knew there was a way to better impact people's lives. This led me to the field of UX design. My passion for understanding people's motivations and behaviours, combined with a desire to solve real-world problems through design, led me to pursue a career in this dynamic field.
Through UX I want to create compelling and effective designs that improve the user experience and positively impact the lives of others. I am always looking for new ways to innovate and improve, and am constantly inspired by the power of design to shape the world around us.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring my hands-on creative side through hobbies such as crocheting, knitting, and 35mm film photography. I find joy in the process of making and creating something with my own two hands!

Any and All Fibre Arts
I taught myself to crochet just over two years ago as I found creating something with my own two hands so satisfying! I am all for slow fashion so I'm currently teaching myself to knit and sow! My goal is to start creating my own designs and patterns!
Film Photography
Photography is one of my passions, particularly capturing images of individuals and stunning landscapes that are distinct and captivating. There's something magical about manually winding the film, hearing the click of the shutter, and the thrill of getting a roll developed. Shooting on film allows me to be inventive in a deliberate manner since I don't have the luxury of an unlimited memory card.
The Joys of Food
I would call myself an underground foodie. I don't post about my food adventures although I may have to start! I absolutely love trying food from every culture, learning about the origins of dishes and genuinely just enjoying a meal with friends and family.
The Relentless Travel Bug
The dream is to travel the world! I would love to be a nomad that gets to experience different cultures' ways of life, I love meeting new people and learning about their journeys. Isn't it crazy that were all on this one planet but living completely separate but authentic lives? Most recently I spent a month in Thailand and it was incredible, i'm already itching to go back!
Interior Design
Interior Design is what originally inspired me to start working in set design in the film industry. A well-designed and curated space can give off so much personality. I love thinking about furniture and design and how to make things coexist in a space in a meaningful way. If you ever need to redecorate, I'm your gal!
