Made real.

Growing up in the Philippines, most software I saw felt like afterthoughts. Very ugly. Government portals, local business sites, digital products. Built to function just enough, never to feel good.

Then I watched my brother make a fluorescent glow effect in CSS, and something clicked. If things could look and feel better, someone just had to care enough to do it.

That's been the thread through my career since. Designing software that works well and feels intentional. Not decoration. Not trends. Just clear, considered decisions that make a product easier to use.
