How I approach Design

💛 Empathy-Driven Design
I have cultivated strong instincts for receiving and applying feedback by embracing active listening and respectful collaboration. I believe empathy is an asset in fostering meaningful connections and driving impactful outcomes.
🪄 Design for Delight
I believe that the smallest details can create lasting impact. Thoughtful design, much like acts of kindness, may seem minor but often resonate deeply. I see design as a force that shapes culture, connection, and accessibility in everyday life.
☯︎ Harmonious Contrast
 I am drawn to the beauty that emerges from the interplay of opposites. I cultivate balance in contrast—color, scale, form, typography—crafting visuals that are both dynamic and cohesive. I take great care into every design decison and geek out over the details.
I'm a Filipino-American, raised in California and now call the Pacific Northwest home. I’m a curious observer, always eager to explore new ideas and understand how things work. Outside of design, you’ll find me painting, quilting, and sewing as part of my creative practice. I love the satisfaction that comes with working in tangible, hands-on arts.
Details, IRL
Everyday moments that inspire me—reminders to slow down, notice details, and find joy in the ordinary.
