About Isa Fabella

UX Designer at First Circle

I'm a UX Designer based in Metro Manila. I am a thinker, passionate about crafting experiences that deliver impact and address people's problems.

Before transitioning to a career in design, I did digital marketing and PR for various arts and cultural institutions in the US and the Philippines. This experience gave me a unique perspective on strategic thinking, and I enjoyed collaborating with my team to brainstorm ideas for figuring out how to promote our clients' events and exhibitions. Naturally, I grew interested in UX and Product Design.

Throughout my career transition, I found it challenging to navigate the ambiguity of becoming a good designer. However, talking to other designers for their feedback and hearing their stories was incredibly valuable. As a mentor, I hope to provide the same support and guidance to budding designers and career switchers as they navigate their own paths in the design industry.
