Hi, I’m Jose Leandro Ongpauco, a Product Designer/Developer with 6+ years of experience turning ideas from sketches into shelf-ready products. I love building cohesive, trend-driven collections that feel fresh, functional, and elevated, blending nostalgia with modern aesthetics.
Big on details, innovation, and making great products speak for themselves, I excel at driving cross-functional collaboration and presenting concepts to senior leadership to secure alignment and approvals. I thrive in turning seasonal direction into tangible outcomes—from BOM creation and vendor management to art direction and color/material storytelling.
