About

As a CPACC-certified Product Designer with a Master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction and a licensed Architect, I blend creativity with technical precision to design seamless, inclusive experiences. I have four years of work experience in allied design disciplines, following my undergraduate degree in architecture, where I graduated as a gold medalist. With a strong focus on user-centered design and accessibility (as an IAAP-approved professional), I have tackled projects ranging from AR/VR integration using immersive technology to AI-driven solutions for big tech companies like Dell Technologies. My skills span the UX/UI spectrum—from conceptualization and research to final design systems that deliver consistency and scalability. My experience at IBM’s Advanced Design Thinking Studio further broadened my horizons in enterprise-level problem solving. Passionate about design as a broad spectrum of symbiotic disciplines, I have a flair for visual communication. Leveraging tools like Figma, Adobe, and various visualization software, I create intuitive interfaces that elevate user journeys while adhering to WCAG and ADA compliance standards. Whether collaborating with cross-functional teams in Agile environments or conducting usability testing to refine designs, I am driven by the goal of crafting engaging experiences that resonate with users and meet organizational goals. At the core of my designs, I aspire to create a thoughtful impact by imbuing my work with an empathetic perspective, promoting inclusivity.
