Design Philosophy
When I look back at my childhood, I cherish the times I made paintings, toys, graphic tees, murals, performance sets, and so much more. My interests in fine art and graphic design matured into interaction design, where I became curious about what influences human behavior in digital, physical, and hybrid spaces. With my background in arts and technology, I thrive in environments that allow me to experiment with different mediums and methods to create shared visions and holistic user experiences.
My upbringing in both the Philippines and United States led to my interests in projects and cultures that value sustainability, accessibility, and inclusivity. I leverage my skills in multimedia communication to foster collaborative work environments within cross-disciplinary teams. Along the way, I love meeting and collaborating with so many kind and talented individuals who help shape my perspective and practice.
