Getting to know me
Product Designer based in the Philippines with 5+ years of experience creating intuitive, polished, and scalable digital experiences. I specialize in turning ambiguous product ideas into clear, user-centered solutions that balance business goals, technical constraints, and strong visual execution.
My background evolved from UI design and design systems into end-to-end product design, working closely with PMs, engineers, stakeholders, and data teams from discovery to delivery. As a solo designer, I'm used to owning multiple initiatives at once — context-switching across priorities, improving usability, shaping UX direction, and bringing product experiences to a more cohesive, launch-ready standard.
I also integrate AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and v0 into my design workflow to accelerate research synthesis, ideation, UX writing, interface exploration, prototyping, and iteration.
— MY CAPABILITIES
What I do
One role, many hats. Here's how I bring depth to every project.
Research & Discovery
I treat ambiguity as the starting point, not a blocker. From stakeholder interviews to data dives to AI-assisted synthesis, I work to uncover the real problem before designing the solution.
Design Systems
Built or led design systems at four different companies. I think in tokens, components, and documented patterns — and I leave every product I touch with a stronger system than I found.
UI Craft
Visual hierarchy, typography, interaction, motion — the parts of design hiring managers used to see first and now expect by default. Still the work I love most.
AI-Augmented Workflow
Claude, ChatGPT, v0, and Figma working together. I use AI to compress synthesis, generate ideation alternatives, draft UX copy, and prototype faster — without losing craft.

Working with me
Outside of work, I'm probably drawing, exploring a new café in Manila, or reading. I speak Filipino and English, and I'm slowly learning Japanese. 🌱
