Here at Glacier Media, our internal agency ecosystem is made up of 150+ folks.

It’s time for another edition of Team GMD Q&A. It’s kind of like Vogue’s 73 Questions. Instead, it’s in blog form and there are less than 10 questions – because you’re busy and we respect your time.

This week on Team GMD we are talking to Blandy, one of our dev experts.

Born and raised in Mexico City, Blandy completed her bachelors in Systems Engineering. She moved to Canada in 2018 where she obtained a PG Diploma in Web and Mobile applications. When she’s not building websites and fixing bugs for the GMD team, Blandy can be found observing the views at Deep Cove, exploring the streets of Vancouver by bike, or creating arts and crafts at home. She also has the inside scoop on the best Mexican brunch in town. Read on to learn more about Blandy…
