From Manila to Saskatoon to Toronto to New York

I am a designer committed to building inspired products & experiences alongside ambitious teams.

My journey spans a move from a country with temperatures ranging from 30°C to -30°C, joining a tech startup in its first year, to flying to New York to help design consumer experiences with Google & Microsoft.

My international background and experience at startup & agencies allow me to see connections and solve problems with flexibility. In my work, this manifests in an explorative & collaborative mindset, always with the human touch. Originating from a passion for visual design and branding, I gain energy from bringing clarity and meaning to digital products.


Recently, I've been drawn to various problem spaces within AI, productivity, e-commerce, & consumer tech.
