SCROLL DOWN
Tays here. I design systems, scale brands, and obsess over spacing that feels just right.
Based in 4103-PH, collaborating globally.
I value clarity, calm, and a little creative chaos. I like building interfaces that make sense, move smooth, and don’t waste anyone’s time, young and old.
Outside of work, I spend a bit of my time walking the streets documenting life and the streets or carrying the weight from your favorite emotional anime and manga arcs. Design just happens to be how I tell stories now, helping to make technology easier for the old folks.
