I'm Jesse
I’m a UX designer located in the Puget Sound, Washington.
A Researcher, but an Artist at Heart
I was born in the Philippines and was introduced to drawing when I was 3 years old. This was the moment where I realized that I could create anything I wanted, as long as I had a blank canvas.

Professionally, I accrued 6+ years of experience in the scientific research field where I developed lab assays, established a drone surveillance program, and published my own research. See my published article here.

My experience in the scientific research field led me to seek further personal and professional growth. I discovered that UX design was a career path that would allow me to harness my passion for creativity and skills in research, and data analysis, in order to optimize user experiences through system design, project management, and presentation.
