Hi! I’m Stella, a Filipina designer-slash-PM based in Madrid. I’m a Lead Product Designer at Root Medical (🇺🇸), driving UX for medical B2B tools and in-house operational tech solutions (from order entry to last mile). Previously, I was a Product Owner for Sarisuki (🇵🇭 Series A, Raised $24.8M) and Kinhub (🇬🇧 Seed Stage, $2.5M).

I have 4+ years of experience in building brands, teams, and products. My work has crossed through a multitude of industries, timezones, and problem statements, which tend lie in early-stage or pre/post-seed environments. I’ve discovered my favorite problem statement is: “Where do we start?”

Outside of work, I love reading, hiking, or going for a run!
