A lil' more about me

Kal-ya-ni | She/her/hers

I am a Product Designer based in San Francisco Bay Area, driven by transformative impact of good design on everyday life.

My journey began in 2014 when I left home for the first time to pursue a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design—a leap into the unknown that was both exciting and overwhelming.

Shifting from a traditional, book-based education to a hands-on creative environment challenged me to think beyond the expected, broadening my perspective through experimentation and laying the foundation for my design thinking.

After 3 years as a UX Designer at Accenture, earning a Master’s in Interaction Design, and 2 years as a Product Designer at UST, I’ve evolved into a versatile and thoughtful designer, blending strategy, creativity, and user-centered problem-solving to craft meaningful experiences.
