I am Allen, a digital product designer focusing on implementing user-centred, data-driven and business-oriented design.
I have worked closely with companies like Amazon, GoFundMe, Taco Bell, and more.
I’ve contributed across the product lifecycle—from 0 to 1 initiatives at early-stage startups to optimizing and scaling features for high-impact platforms like Amazon and GoFundMe.
My strongest work comes from blending systems thinking with hands-on design, building thoughtful, user-centered solutions alongside collaborative and ambitious teams.

My process
Understand the why
Every project starts with clarity. I dig into the problem, business goals, and user needs to ensure we’re solving the right thing from the start.
Listen to users
With research in hand, I define clear goals and map out user journeys. I explore multiple design directions, focusing on intuitive and impactful solutions.
Map and explore
I translate complexity into clarity through journey maps, sketches, and wireframes—always focused on what brings the most value.
Design with intent
From low-fi to high-fi, I build solutions that balance usability, aesthetics, and scalability. Every screen has a reason behind it.
Test and learn
I use feedback, A/B testing, and usability sessions to validate assumptions early—and improve designs based on what’s real, not what’s assumed.
Deliver and evolve
Design doesn’t stop at handoff. I stay close to engineering and data to refine the product and ensure it works as well as it looks.

More from me
I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of creativity and technology. With a Bachelor of Science in Media Arts and an Associate’s degree in Graphic Design, I started my career as a Front-End Developer, working at several startup advertising agencies. During this time, I gained hands-on experience with various CMS platforms like WordPress, Magento, and Shopify, building and optimizing websites for a wide range of clients.
As I navigated the tech space, I discovered my true passion for design and user experience. I saw how great design could transform products and elevate user interactions. This realization led me to transition into the digital world as a UI/UX Designer, and later, a Product Designer. With no formal training in digital design, I took the initiative to self-teach—diving deep into UI principles, interaction design, and the psychology of user behavior. Through this journey, I learned that design is more than aesthetics; it’s about solving real problems and making experiences intuitive, seamless, and engaging.
While honing my skills as a UI Designer, I recognized that to truly excel, I needed to think beyond visuals and embrace strategic problem-solving. I immersed myself in User Research, Product Strategy, and Behavioral Psychology, taking courses and reading extensively to understand how users think, feel, and interact with technology. This commitment to growth and learning has shaped my approach to design—ensuring that every product I work on is not just beautiful but also impactful.
I firmly believe that growth comes from curiosity and continuous learning. I remind myself daily: the moment I stop learning is the moment I fall behind. That’s why I stay curious, hungry, and never settle for comfort. My mission is to design experiences that not only look great but create real value for users and businesses alike.
