Preet Dhillon

I'm a design engineer based in Montreal, Canada. Currently at vvd (opens in new tab) where I work across product design, design systems, and frontend. When I'm not building, I'm probably protein-maxxing.

As a kid, I ate award-winning pears warm off the branch in my grandfather’s orchard in India.

I could taste how much he genuinely cared about his craft.

I approach design with that same care.
