Hello! I'm Chris, a senior UX designer at SPINS, a wellness & data analytics company for consumer-packaged goods (CPG). I design dashboards and web apps that provide insights to retailers and brands to make data-driven business decisions.
I have 10 years of experience in UX design, visual, research, and data visualization. I also earned a Master's in Design from Shu-Te University in Taiwan and received my UX Certification from Nielsen Norman Group.
As a side note, I am still in the Philippines but my wife and I will arrive in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan by March 2025 with permanent residency status and full authority to work in Canada.
When I'm not working, I co-host a design podcast at Design Shifters, mentor designers at ADPList, and speak about design at CebUXD.
