Currently, I’m the CPO and UX/Product Lead @ superdesign.tech & customspace.shop
Where we are tackling the issues of long global supply chains through the automation of distributed and localized manufacturing.
Previously, in another life, I was the Head of Production @ David Gill Gallery in London.
There I managed the development and manufacture of limited edition ‘Design-Art’ furniture by high profile artists and designers, such as Zaha Hadid, Mattia Bonetti and Fredrikson Stallard.
I led a small production team, engineering fantastical designs and liaising with top artisans and high-end manufacturing companies in the UK and Europe.
Born in the Philippines but raised in Australia,
I studied Industrial Design at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia and started my career as a chair designer for a solid timber furniture manufacturer.

You can still see my very first chair design scattered around at the Museum of Australian Democracy (MOAD) at Old Parliament house in Canberra.
I once designed & built a boat to live on the canals of central London.
In 2014, I set myself the task of fitting out a widebeam canal boat as a personal design project.
The project involved immersing myself in the world of boat design and the London boating community to create a little oasis that I could live and work from.
I am a firm believer in the power of design thinking to help improve all facets of our lives.
“Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones … Design so construed is the core of all professional training.”
