Work — Digital Products

Every project started with a real problem.

Each card tells you the problem, what I did and what I made — open a case study for the full story.

My role
UI/UX Designer (co-designer)

Domestic workers do real, regular work — but have no proof of it, so they can't show their history to new employers or banks.

Product Design Approach

How I Approach Product Design.

Understand

Understand user needs through research.

Prioritize

Identify and prioritize meaningful problems.

Translate

Translate insights into clear user flows and prototypes.

Validate

Validate design decisions through usability testing.

How I think

Six simple questions behind every project.

  1. 01
    Understand

    What is actually happening?

    I ask questions and listen to people before sketching anything.

  2. 02
    Define

    What is the real problem?

    I frame the problem around user needs and the context the product lives in.

  3. 03
    Explore

    What could make it better?

    I try more than one direction and weigh the constraints and trade-offs of each.

  4. 04
    Build

    How can I turn the idea into something usable?

    I turn the strongest direction into flows, screens and a working prototype.

  5. 05
    Validate

    Does it actually work for people?

    A prototype is not a launched product — it has to be tested with the people it's for.

  6. 06
    Improve

    What should change next?

    Feedback decides what to keep, what to change, and what to drop.

Visual & Creative Practice.

About

The mind behind
the work.

My foundation is graphic design training at MAAC Multimedia Institute. With a completed MBA in Marketing, I'm bringing a human-centered and business-aware lens to my transition into product design.

  1. Chapter 01

    Graphic design & visual communication

    My journey began with graphic design and visual communication, where I learned how typography, composition and visual hierarchy shape the way people understand information.

  2. Chapter 02

    Teaching & training

    My professional experience is as a Graphic Design Trainer at MAAC Multimedia Institute. Teaching and mentoring taught me to understand people, explain complex ideas clearly, and notice where learners struggle.

  3. Chapter 03

    Product Design

    I'm transitioning into a Product Designer role. My product design projects come from design learning, collaborative projects, and self-initiated work — not employment as a Product Designer.

  4. Chapter 04

    MBA · Marketing

    I have completed my MBA in Marketing. It helps me consider who a problem affects, why it matters, and how design can support both people and business goals.

  5. Chapter 05

    EdTech & HRTech

    Today I'm exploring how thoughtful design can simplify complex workflows, particularly in education and work — places where better design changes someone's day or livelihood.

  6. Chapter 06

    My approach

    Understand people first, solve the real problem, keep it simple, and remember that a prototype is not a launched product until it has been tested with real people.
