A bit about me.
I'm a Filipino designer & researcher building things I find genuinely hard to stop thinking about. My work sits where product design,behavior research & data overlap, because every time I tried to answer a design question properly, the answer wasliving in a different discipline. So I followed it.

Design philosophy
The handful of beliefs that survived contact with real projects.
01
Reality before interface
I get into the field before I touch a screen. Shadowing staff, interviewing students, running an audit nobody asked for. The real answer is usually already out there, waiting to be watched.
02
Build to outlast me
The best thing I can leave behind is documentation the next person can actually open. Handover isn't an afterthought, it's part of the deliverable.
03
The workaround is the real system
When people quietly route around your design, that path is the truth. Watch it, don't fight it, then build for it.
04
AI speeds the work, not the taste
AI handles the grunt work: clustering research, rough prototypes, first-draft docs. What's good and who it's for stay my call.
