Hello, I'm Chris!
I've woven a journey shaped by diverse experiences into my approach to design.
Starting from moving across countries (Philippines - United States - Japan) to diving into different startup scenes of Silicon Valley and Tokyo, my path has been a patchwork of adaptability and growth.
My interest in design sparked early on when I discovered Photoshop during my elementary years. While my foundation lies in Graphic Design, my passion lies to the human-centered methodologies in Product Design. I am currently exploring the intersection of these two disciplines and is constantly learning to be better at both.
Through my experiences, I've come to firmly believe in the power of diversity and collaborative thinking. I believe that these are the driving forces behind innovative solutions that truly enhance lives.
Driven by empathy and a passion for learning, I find fulfillment in contributing my unique background and skills to design. My ultimate goal is to create a positive impact on people's lives. I would love to collaborate with a like-minded team that shares this vision!
