I lead design in my own company now! It's a social network built on trust, where tech collaborators ideate, strategize, and form teams around projects.
I'm part of the second On Deck Design Fellowship. I was selected and attending with a curated group of 75 designers in the design management track. Gotta learn to be a good manager!
People pay me to help them become product designers. Helped 10+ students transition their career to digital product design and user experience. Guidance on fundamental skills and mindset.
Ranked Top 2 on Apple Podcasts (Design, Philippines), the Top 200’s on Spotify, and was featured by net magazine (December 2019 issue). 100+ episodes with world-class Filipino designers.
Just for fun! A show on my personal interests and conversations with friends. We talk about leadership, design, product, startups, crypto, NFTs, and more.

I post videos about design, startups, and covers of songs I like. It's mostly to help new designers out (it's extremely hard to transition to design, I know!) and release some pent up musical energy :P
Making diagnostic lab software for emerging markets pretty and functional. Logo work featured on TechCrunch.
Led design for enterprise squad and north star projects; represented the product design function in the company (2018-2021)
Started the first student UX club in the Philippines at Ateneo de Manila University (2015-2018)

Joined a 40+ strong world-class design team at Bangkok — early-stage vision work for sorts and filters; shipped usability improvements to sidebar widget
Spending time helping people start their design careers is very important to me. I have a lot of pride for the people I've mentored and how their career turns out :)
I usually play every night with friends or co-workers. I prefer playing the mid lane with Invoker, Meepo (I'm level 25), or Broodmother. My highest rank was Ancient II, but I'm just Legend 2-4 these days. Check my DotaBuff
I play almost every day! I train twice a week, participate in queueing matches with different groups of people, and just generally love the competition.
I like taking portraits of friends, and interesting landscapes. I also love taking photos during the golden hour.
Meeting new people with different skills, hobbies, and interests other than mine, that help expand my perspective.
I started playing guitar when I was around grade 3. I'm a decent singer, newbie percussionist + bass player + and MIDI keyboard player. Check my SoundCloud!
I like Shounen in general, OP characters in Isekai worlds, good music, and a bit of Seinen! Favorites: Death Note, Code Geass, Black Clover, HxH, Erased, Haikyuu, Dragon Ball Super, Food Wars, Yowamushi Pedal ++
