My why — Growing up between Manila and Toronto taught me early that context shapes everything: How people navigate space, make decisions, and what "intuitive" actually means.

I bring both of those worlds into every product I work on.

My specialty — I specialize in the full arc of product design: UX, UI, research, systems, strategy, and accessibility. I care about driving the details to create the full big picture.

Outside of work — I'm usually in motion: On a yoga mat, in a spin class, taking photos on my camera, hopping on a plane, or sitting in a café with my friends.

I love bringing people together, discovering things I didn't know I needed to know, and finding beauty in how things work.

Lately — I've been exploring First Principles Thinking and the Japanese approach to design; two ways of seeing the world that keep making my work sharper.
