About
I started in Computer Science because I wanted to build things. I stayed because I realized the hard part isn't the code. It's making it feel right for the person using it. I'm a UI/UX designer based in the Philippines, designing for both local and global audiences. My work runs the full arc of user-centered design: research, personas, journeys, IA, wireframes, high-fidelity screens, and usability testing. I care about the parts users never notice when they're done right. Clear hierarchy, honest empty states, and design systems that hold up as a product grows.
What I bring
3 Pillars
Design that works
I design with constraints in mind: touch targets, contrast, spacing. Function first, then beauty.
Comfortable with code
I started in Computer Science, so I understand what's technically feasible. That means fewer handoff surprises and more grounded design decisions.
Research instinct
I don't guess what users need. I ask, watch, and test, so every decision traces back to a real conversation, not a hunch.
Let's build something real together.
