Before joining CRE8IVE, I served as a Product Design Lead at Xero, where I worked on Partner upgrade experience and payroll employee setup to simplify employer reporting. In my previous roles at design agencies, I collaborated with brands such as ActewAGL, ClubsNSW, Fullerton Hotels, Philips, and government sectors, designing communication and interactive digital experiences.

My interest in expanding my design practice led me to complete a postgraduate degree in Design Futures, where I immersed myself in methodologies, foresight, and design philosophy. This experience culminated in writing a piece (and was fortunate enough to be given the space to talk about it) about relationalities in design, grounded in my Filipino upbringing and exploring other forms of design, such as queering design.

While much of my work happens in the digital space, I enjoy tactile activities like watercolour illustration and film photography—sometimes lugging around a medium-format camera to my own detriment.
