Hi, I’m Erick R. Philbert, a Senior UI/UX Designer and UX Strategist with a background in accounting. I specialise in designing emotional and human-centred digital products that balance usability, clarity, and business goals. I believe design goes beyond aesthetics as it should simplify processes, enhance usability, and put real people and their needs at the core of problem-solving, and involving them throughout the process to create intuitive, effective, and desirable products, services, or systems through empathy, ideation, and iterative testing. Over the 6 years, I’ve collaborated with organizations across industries, including banking, investment and finance, Agentic AI, insurance, agriculture, logistics, and e-commerce. My work includes designing ERPs, e-commerce platforms, loan and insurance systems, and financial group management apps. These projects have given me hands-on experience in transforming complex workflows into intuitive digital solutions. I bring expertise in tools like Figma, Zeplin, Adobe Illustrator, and methods such as Information Architecture,Agile UX, Design Thinking and process improvement. I use these to design user-friendly interfaces, create prototypes, streamline workflows, and ensure every product reflects empathy for users. I’m always open to collaborating on projects that require a thoughtful approach to UX and product design. If you’re looking to improve usability, redesign workflows, or build a new digital product, feel free to reach out.…
