Lead UI/UX & Product Designer · Bacolod City, Philippines

Complex business requirements, turned into interfaces people can use.

I design enterprise SaaS platforms and data-rich products. Over 7 years I have worked with clients across the US, Europe and Australia, building Figma component libraries, design tokens and design systems, then handing them off cleanly to developers.

How I work

From a messy brief to a shipped interface.

  1. 01

    Audit and understand

    UX audits, usability testing and user journey mapping show where the real friction is before anything is drawn.

  2. 02

    Structure

    Information architecture and wireframes organize dense data and long workflows into screens people can scan.

  3. 03

    Design and prototype

    High-fidelity, responsive designs and interactive prototypes make decisions testable early.

  4. 04

    Systemize

    Figma component libraries with Auto Layout and design tokens keep every screen consistent as the product grows.

  5. 05

    Hand off and check

    Clean developer handoff, then design QA on the build until the shipped result matches the design.

Experience

Product, web and graphic design for teams in four countries.
