✦ TOYO ✦ PRODUCT/MOTION DESIGNER

Nice to see you!

I'm Toyo. 👋

Thanks for stopping by my website –
I'm so glad you're here!

I'm a product and motion designer with a passion for creating experiences that work for everyone. Over the past 8+ years, I've worn many creative hats as a digital graphic designer, video editor, and web designer. Most recently, I've been diving deep into product design, where I've discovered my love for building design systems and crafting reusable components in Figma.

What drives me most is creating accessible, user-friendly solutions that make a real difference in people's lives. I believe great design should be inclusive and deliver positive experiences to all users, regardless of their abilities or background. That's why accessibility isn't just a checkbox for me – it's woven into everything I create.

In our rapidly evolving AI landscape, I'm constantly exploring new tools and techniques to stay at the forefront of design innovation. I love learning, experimenting, and pushing creative boundaries while never losing sight of the human element at the heart of good design.

Got ideas, feedback, or just want to chat about design? I'd love to hear from you! Collaboration and fresh perspectives always spark the best creative solutions. Let's create something amazing together! ✨

My Works

The OX dashboard shown on a desktop monitor against a soft green background. The dark interface shows a watchlist of stocks, each row with a price, a change, a trend marker reading 20d avg, and a countdown in an Earnings in column, beside a panel with an Apple quote and a portfolio summary.

AI-Assisted UX Research

AI-assisted UX research: OX adaptive trading dashboard

A trading dashboard that starts calm and opens up when you want it, with trend and earnings context on the watchlist row instead of inside a chart. Run with AI at each step, from an eight-app audit to a working prototype, including where it got things wrong and what I caught by checking myself.

A design system showcase for Surpass EDI, displaying light and dark mode user interface screens alongside a detailed library of semantic colour tokens.

System Design

System design: Surpass EDI

A deep dive into building a modern, accessible design system for EDI software. This project highlights the implementation of perceptually uniform colours, a robust Figma variable architecture, and the transition from fragmented UI to a streamlined, developer-aligned component library.

Token System Design

Token system design: Locopaw AI chatbot

A multi-theme design token system built with Figma variables for Locopaw, an AI chatbot for local travel. Featuring four weather-inspired UI themes, it demonstrates scalable design architecture with three-tier tokenization and automatic theme switching.
