Leading design and building teams to bridge business vision with loveable product experiences

👋 Hi, I'm Jacalin. I've dedicated my entire career to creating impactful designs, driving positive impacts, and solving business problems.

Over the last decade, I've transitioned from a craft-focused creator into a business designer and a system thinker. I build empowered teams and effective workflows to turn company visions into viable, loveable products. 

I am a natural-born status-quo challenger. It's in my DNA to question how things are done and experiment with new ideas. Curiosity generates growth and without it, expertise becomes obsolete.
