My STORY

Planted in Manila, Flourished in the Bay

Growing up between the Philippines and California, I saw firsthand how culture, environment and perspective shape experience. That curiosity led me from architecture and community outreach into product design, where I now build human-centered experiences rooted in empathy and research.


I aim to design to make users feel seen and enjoy what they interact with!
