Based in the Philippines. I work on UI/UX and graphic design, and build the front-end when a project needs it.

Selected work

Four case studies.

Platinum Trucks & Equipment Design + Full-Stack Build 2024-2026

Platinum Trucks & Equipment

A Japan-surplus truck and heavy-equipment dealer was running on a three-to-five-minute-load site, Facebook posts, and printed sheets handed door-to-door. I designed and built the replacement, one live catalogue plus an inquiry pipeline that catches every lead.

IKI Health / Amura Ventures UX / UI Design 2025

IKI Health Application

I brought an AI audio-journaling feature into a health product and split one stream of AI data two ways, a screen a user reads in three seconds and a clinical dashboard a professional can work from.

Daitoku Ramen Food House Design + Full-Stack Build 2026

Daitoku Ramen Food House

A ramen restaurant in Angeles City existed online as a FoodPanda listing and a Facebook page. I designed and built its first owned web presence solo, a five-collection CMS on Cloudflare with seven public routes, a journal, and a dark type-led design system, live at daitokuramen.com.

WorkScreen.io Product & Web Design 2024

Workscreen.io SaaS MVP

A four-surface hiring platform designed from zero, built around one problem, how to make screening feel rigorous for employers and fair for applicants.

Work Experiences

The path so far

  1. HEAD -> main

    Open to UI/UX and design work

    Caloocan City, PH · remote worldwide

    The two lines run as one now, product UX and the graphic work behind it. I take on either through Upwork.

  2. Ethereal Solace HEXA

    Solo build, no client · Philippines · remote

    A Call of Duty Mobile clan site with a roster, a match center, tournaments with working brackets, a journal, and a private admin. I co-run the clan and play in it, so I was the client, the user, and the developer. Design and development both ran from April 2026, and it has been live at etherealsolacehexa.com since July. Fourth site on the same setup and the only one nobody paid for.

  3. Abe Used Mura

    Solo build on a proven scaffold · Angeles City, PH · remote

    A Japan-surplus secondhand shop whose whole online presence was a Facebook page. Design started in February 2026 and kept getting revised from there, with development from around June. Built on the same Astro-on-Workers scaffold as Platinum Trucks and Daitoku Ramen, with a catalog and a phone-first admin CMS. It is deliberately not a store, no cart and no accounts, and it is still gated ahead of launch.

  4. Daitoku Ramen Food House home page

    Daitoku Ramen Food House

    Solo design + full-stack build · Angeles City, PH · remote

    A ramen restaurant whose whole web presence was a FoodPanda listing and a Facebook page. I built it a site of its own, solo. Research and design from February 2026, development through the middle of the year, then a five-collection CMS on Cloudflare behind an admin, seven public routes, and a journal, live at daitokuramen.com since 5 July 2026.

  5. CateredByMatt logo

    CateredByMatt

    UI/UX revision via Doubleshot Group · Upwork · Sydney, AU · remote

    Doubleshot Group brought me on through Upwork to revise the site of CateredByMatt, a Sydney premium caterer. Site-wide UX audit, then the redesigns: navigation, the blog template, a 16-suburb locations directory with a filterable map, and a multi-step enquiry funnel, each handed off as a written spec. Designs are in client review and moving into a phased build.

  6. IKI Health mobile app and clinical dashboard

    tag: iki-health

    IKI Health

    UX consult, then new flows · Amura Ventures · Remote

    I ran a UX consult on the live IKI Health app, then drew new flows from the business requirements: stress-level graphs, an audio-input results page, and a stats view for both managers and users. I rebuilt the design system, wrote up the edge cases, and handed it over developer-ready, and it shipped once the CEO signed off.

  7. Geoma

    SVG pattern production · Amura Ventures · Remote

    Vector pattern output in Illustrator and CorelDRAW, around two hours a pattern. I delivered them in the formats the developers asked for, so the files went straight in.

  8. Remisko Metals logo

    Remisko Metals

    Figma to Wix · Rubix Designs · Remote

    Designed a Rubix subsidiary site in Figma and shipped it on Wix.

  9. BillEase logo

    BillEase

    Part-time UX · First Digital Finance · Remote

    I mapped the production screens back into Figma so on-production bugs and KPI-hurting flaws were easy to track. Live competitor analysis fed decisions that raised product usage by 5%. I also produced the EasyPace Annuity explainer video and started the content-design guideline and product glossary.

  10. Laser-engraving studio

    Laser-ready production design · Remote · seasonal

    Labels, safety signage, and a capability statement, all drawn for clean 0.6–0.9 mm cuts. On-call by season since December 2024.

  11. Anytime Fairway logo

    Anytime Fairway

    Site + kiosk · Rubix Designs · Remote

    Built the coming-soon site and kiosk for an indoor golf simulator, plus the email and Canva templates that went with it.

  12. WorkScreen logo

    Workscreen.io & Arbor Technologies

    End-to-end product work · Upwork · Remote

    Workscreen.io end to end: the marketing site, the hiring SaaS, and the admin back end. For Arbor Technologies I built e-commerce mockups that drove ten sales conversations.

  13. Platinum Trucks & Equipment site

    Platinum Trucks & Equipment

    UI/UX, then development & deployment · Upwork · Remote

    Talks began in February 2024 and the UI/UX was done by around April. The build paused, then got the green light, and I carried it through. When they needed someone to ship it, I took the work from design into development and a live deployment in June 2026: a working catalogue and an admin CMS.

  14. Our Lady of Fatima University, College of Computer Studies seal

    merge: cs-degree

    Our Lady of Fatima University

    BS Computer Science (Paused) · Attended Aug 2022 – May 2024

    Paused the CS run after a first year on the Dean's List. It grounded me in how software gets built, and the design work from here runs on that.

  15. Shopworks ERP interface

    branch: uiux

    Shopworks ERP

    SaaS ERP · Rubix Designs · Remote

    A SaaS ERP designed across the front-facing site, the app, and the admin back end. The UI/UX line starts here, branching off the graphic work.

  16. Buckwild EDM banner

    Buckwild Music

    Audio-visualizer editing · Remote

    Motion work for an independent music channel: audio visualizers cut in After Effects and Premiere, nine and counting.

  17. TAGsports logo

    branch: graphics

    TAGsports

    Graphic designer · Remote · seasonal

    I built a vector-artwork pipeline with automated vectorization and shipped over 2,000 print-ready customer artworks. The graphic-design line begins here.

  18. Tandang Sora Integrated School seal

    root

    Tandang Sora Integrated School

    Where it started · Caloocan City, PH

    As Supreme Student Government President I designed the council logo that's still in use and brought the school's three biggest student orgs together. Before design paid, it was shirt prints, pubmats, a campus-journalism placement, and a science-month debate win.
