About me

Nice to meet you!

I'm Joanne, a Filipino-American UX designer based in the SF Bay Area. I started out with a degree in Computer Science but found myself interested in what software looks and feels like instead.

Over the years, I've worked with various startups and in fast-paced environments, honing my speedy design skills while maintaining quality and attention to detail.

As a designer, I care about sharing my knowledge with peers. I've helped onboard teams with branching in Figma, established best practices using auto-layout, and showed others how to build more complex components with properties and variables. I’ve found that the best way to sharpen your craft is to teach what you know.

Outside of design

I am likely yapping about my pet rabbits, playing (or yelling at the screen while my partner plays) a video game, or reading manga in bed. I'd love to hear your recs!

Community work with UX Wizards

I've had the pleasure of volunteering with a wonderful Bay Area-based design community since 2019. Here's some fun stuff I've made for the group:

Let's grow together
