Hi I’m Rommel 
I’m a technical creative focused on shaping outcomes that balance the needs of users and businesses.
I previously spent a decade as an Art Director in New York, where I developed gamified experiences for digital campaigns in collaboration with various bluechip ad agencies. I like to problem-solve through Figma prototypes, delivering some novel solutions that makes user engagement enjoyable and productive, preferably both at the same time.
Passionate about traveling, I’ve explored remarkable places like sleeping in the Sahara Desert (twice), trekking Icelandic geysers, sailing Norwegian fjords, and hiking in the jungles of the Philippines, which ultimately have inspired and altered my perspective in everything I do.
Did I mention I’m a bit of a nerd? I build home-lab servers for automation in the basement.
