Designing experiences
that make complexity
feel effortless.
Hi, I’m Melvin, a UX and product designer with 9+ years of experience turning ambiguity into clarity—crafting intuitive interfaces, scalable design systems, and meaningful user journeys.
At the heart of my work is a deep belief in design as a bridge between people and possibility. I don’t just design screens—I map user flows, uncover insights, align teams, and build experiences that feel natural, useful, and frictionless.
My Philosophy
My design process is grounded in
human-centered thinking and shaped by systems-level clarity. I listen closely, question assumptions, and iterate quickly as always designing with real users, product goals,
and long-term scalability in mind.
From leading the creation of a military-wide productivity platform to revamping loyalty programs
and launching lifestyle brands, I bring structure to the messiness of product development and clarity to every interaction.
