Passionate about taking on challenging projects to design effortless products.
Hi, I’m Eugene,
I am a product designer dedicated to creating effortless user experiences that enhance brand identities.
With a background in Information Technology (I.T.) and Digital Communication, Information, and Media (D.C.I.M.), as well as experience as a solutions specialist, I bring a unique blend of strategic problem-solving and empathetic design to every project.
Having experience working alongside individuals, start-ups, and companies, I’ve developed a passion in developing frictionless user experiences that are proven through data-driven research and design.
I firmly believe that by taking a research-backed approach with a creative problem solving mindset will produce effortless and enjoyable user experiences.
Talk with me about:
Design
What fascinates me most about design is that it is through this medium in which we perceive and interact with the world. I love how even the smallest of changes, driven by research and data, can have some of the biggest impacts.
Photography
I am fascinated by how a single picture can capture so much information, and how a photo can tell a story and incite the emotions and feelings within us without a single spoken word. This is the reason why I picked up portrait photography a few years back. Check out some of my work!
Art
I love art in all of its forms. I particularly like the way it allows for the expression of one’s self to be subjected to critique amongst strangers and the thoughts and emotions within them.
Culture
Experiencing the world around me and immersing myself in the diverse cultures and experiences of others is one of the most enjoyable aspects of my life. Traveling, trying new foods, and connecting with people of different backgrounds not only increases my awareness of the world and its people but also plays a vital role in my personal development.
Food
Who doesn’t love food? I have a deep appreciation for everything related to food, from its sourcing and preparation to its presentation. Whether I’m the one cooking it or eating it, just like you, I couldn’t live without it.
Watches
My love for watches began with my grandfathers from both my father and mother’s side. I’ve never seen either of my grandfathers without a watch on their wrist growing up. I guess you could say my obsession is due to wanting to always keep a piece of them with me.
Golf
Out of all the sports I played when I was younger, this is probably the only one I still play somewhat regularly. My father introduced me to golf at a young age, and I quickly developed a passion for it due to the high level of discipline required to play at an enjoyable level.
Fishing
Fishing holds a special place in my heart as it was a way I bonded with my father and brother growing up. I love the reward of a good fight and meal after patiently waiting to set the hook.
