Hallo!

My name is Gordon Hatusupy, a Dutch product designer living in Vancouver, Canada. Back in the Netherlands I had my own design studio called Studio Brandstof (2010-2016). I mainly worked in the field of information design, data visualization and ux.

In 2016 I moved to Ottawa to work at Shopify (2016-2021. Here I worked on customer facing analytics as a Staff Product Designer and a UX Manager. I lead the team focusing on various areas like reporting, dashboards and insights. I contributed data visualization guidelines to the Shopify design system called Polaris. In addition to this I ran workshops to teach data design throughout the company.

In 2021 I took a break from design to work on photography and film projects and volunteered at a conservation group called Wild Research which mostly monitors birds and environment.

In 2022 I joined Brex (2022-2023), a fintech product that helps other companies with their Spend Management. I worked on the Efficiency team as a lead designer on a product called Inbox that saves users time, improves their workflows and increases compliance.

In 2024 I decided to continue my photography work on a project called “Spark Bird” which takes a deeper look at bird conservation and the people that fight for the survival of bird species.
