Gillian King

Before moving to the United States and joining Astriata, Gillian's passion for learning about life and cultures worldwide took her to multiple countries—Colombia, Taiwan, Peru, and Honduras—where she taught English in schools and developed and operated her own business teaching English in a virtual environment. She also earned a bachelor’s degree in graphic arts from the University of East London and took courses in user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design at CareerFoundry, where she discovered the enormous potential of using design to empower individual users.

At Astriata, Gillian spends the bulk of her time planning, conducting, and analyzing user research—and then translating what she learns into user personas, user flows, information architecture, and wireframes. She utilizes UX research methods and empathy to identify user pain points and UI design concepts to create human-centered products and prototypes, tailored to each client’s unique needs. “I’m excited to collaborate with creative minds and design content that is made accessible for everyone,” she says.
