I aim to make everyday processes easier by ensuring every choice is intentional, collaborative, and rooted in listening. I find joy in utilizing design to make people feel heard, confident, and comfortable. I'm a Filipino-American UX designer born and raised in the Dallas region.
What makes me curious?
Understanding the reason people do things the way they do, and why they may be motivated
to change that behavior — especially with how fast technology evolves.
I was one of three designers who designed a web app to support human relations in
distributing a set amount of tickets to shows at the Toyota Music Factory to employees.
I was among eight product designers who built an app to address the increasing need for community support in the Dallas area.
I served as a project manager, leading a team of seven to redesign a non-profit website for accessibility, efficiency and future growth.
