Hi! I'm Dominic, a UX designer based in Boston currently studying my MS in Computer Science and Computational Design at MIT.

Having worked and studied in different fields of design from UX to architecture, I've come to see design as a way of not only solving real user problems, but also of creating better, more engaging experiences, whether it be a mobile application or a house. I have a strong passion for designing and making products which express a story and (hopefully) touch people.

Outside of design, I like to spend most of my time trying new restaurants and running to lose those calories!

Fun facts about me:

  • I'm Canadian, Chinese and Filipino

  • Traveled to 40 different countries and lived and worked in four since childhood

  • I'm a competitive dragon boat paddler in my university

  • I can eat raw chilies of any kind
