Testimonials 💡
"During his time in our Creative Media program, he focused on real and honest questions like how might AI be reshaping web design and what that really means for designers moving forward. What I appreciate most about Richie is that he doesn’t just think about it, he does the work. Even while holding a full-time role in the court system, he continues to build his UX/UI practice on the side showing just how committed he is to this."
— Sharla H, Academy for Creative Media at West Oʻahu Director
"Collaborating with Richie has definitely brought innovative ideas to help support our community-based program for children and youth. Over several years as a dedicated volunteer, he has displayed a keen eye for detail and fresh insights while remaining deeply invested in our collective, long-term goals of celebrating culture among the youth. Beyond the excellent quality of his work, his generous, team-first attitude and collaborative spirit have made him an invaluable cornerstone of our program. We are blessed to have him in our program."

About me🙍♂️
Aloha, I'm Richie!👋
I am a Filipino-Chinese American aspiring to be a web and graphic designer specializing in user experience and user interface (UX/UI design), branding, and responsive design, based in Waipahu, HI, USA.
I graduated from the University of Hawaiʻi—West Oʻahu (UHWO) with a major in Creative Media and a Design and Media concentration in Spring 2025. My passion for web design began in sixth grade, when I created a joke website, and grew further when I built a first-place-winning National History Day website in the district in seventh grade.
I currently work as a Judicial Clerk with the Hawaiʻi State Judiciary at the Honolulu District Court in the Traffic Violations Bureau during the day, but I pursue creative endeavors at night. I hope to make web and graphic design my day job someday.
If you’re curious, I love to read and translate manga (scanlation) 📖, listen to alternative music 🎶 (Cage the Elephant 🐘 is my fave band! Stream Melophobia!), and take long walks while having meaningful conversations 🚶♂️in my free time. I also recently began drawing ✏️ as a hobby!
Fun facts: I can type up to 120 words per minute (WPM) ⌨️, my scanlation group is called Piku Scans ✒️, and I am a parent to two spoiled cats: Lorax Junior (LJ), an orange kitten, and Aries, a gray cat 🐈!
If you have a project in mind or want to discuss design ideas, get in touch, and let's create something great together!
