HOLA,

I'm Chynna, a Filipino Experience Designer, Agile practitioner, avid problem-solver, systems thinker, and a sucker for bad puns.

I believe in creating value for users and investing in trust-based relationships that create equal opportunities for all to contribute and make an impact. I'm at my happiest when I'm outside, exploring, or trying something new 🌱

Chynna at work:

- a goofball
- giggles 99% of the time
- BUT serious once you need her to be
- advocates for psychological safety in the workplace
- gen Z at heart (and mind and soul)
- chronic tiktok songs belter, keyboard smasher
- when in doubt, take her to Jollibee

Giving back to the community


I speak and lead workshops for local communities on anything UX. I love to teach and share my thoughts on a wide range of topics, but recently, I've been focused on coaching up and coming designers to help jumpstart their design career.
