Cristine
Design Engineer • Senior UI Engineer
Hello, I'm Cristine!
Thanks for being here!
I’m a Design Engineer / Senior UI Engineer.
I design and build interfaces end-to-end, focusing on layout, hierarchy, typography, motion, and usability, and turning wireframes into production-ready UI without the handoff gap.
From structure to polish, I deliver responsive, accessible front ends with clean architecture and sharp interaction details.
I’ve shipped web applications across public sector, aerospace/defense, consumer finance, and startups, through both full-time roles and independent engagements.
Currently cleared with Public Trust (Department of the Interior) and previously held a Top Secret DoD clearance.
This website provides an overview of previous projects I’ve worked on, with screenshots from work I’ve both designed and developed.
