Pleased to meet you! My name is Gabrielle Lussier and I go by she/her pronouns.

A little about me: I grew up in Northern Alberta in Treaty 8 Territory, and am of French Canadian, Dutch, and Indigenous heritage. I’m a proud member of the Métis Nation of Alberta, and I’ve lived in amiskwaciy-wâskahikan (Edmonton) for the past 8 years, and consider it my home.

I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts and my Bachelor of Design from the University of Alberta in 2017 and 2019, respectively.

My current role is a senior UI designer at Mozilla, where I work on Firefox Desktop. I also have a strong fine art practice (I’m currently learning all that I can about pottery.)

I also teach Digital Experience Design classes at MacEwan university, focusing on speculative design for current and future technologies such as AR/VR and AI.

My design practice is rooted in human-centred design principals, accessible and inclusive design, as well as design informed by advocacy and activism.

My fine art practice revolves around the juxtaposition of private emotion and public space, and the connection between art and mental health.

Besides art and design, in my spare time I enjoy playing soccer, reading dystopian fiction, New York Times crossword puzzles, and attending folk music festivals.
