Helping other BIPOC survive & thrive in tech
After years of Sketch I've moved over to Figma. The collaboration, link sharing, and API integrations have made it perfect for my goals.
The functional programming approach resonates with me and React has been a flexible yet powerful prototyping tool.
Designers, engineers, and stakeholders all using the same "single source of truth". That's my current goal with Storybook.

My Journey
2021 - Present
Product Design Director
Pēk by Care Sherpa
We're building a HIPAA compliant CRM from the ground up using Material UI & NextJS. We're transforming a "Frankenstein's monster" of open source software, custom integrations, and outdated UX into a modern tool that consolidates screens and increases efficiency. It's about getting people the care they need faster.
2018
The Cycling Year
Sabatical
After 4 years of helping Clariture Health get to a successful acquisition I decided to take a break from work. I signed up for cycling events in London, Paris, and Honolulu. While my performance in Europe was a bit lacking, I took 5th on the day in Hawaii! Months of diet and training paid off as I wrapped up a once-in-a-lifetime year.
2010-2014
FREELANCE & STARTUPS
My 3rd Application Build
I'm an autodidact so building to learn. is my jam. I designed and built Flojuggler, a social menstrual tracking application, to see how far I could push JQuery and SQL.
San Francisco AIDS Foundation
Giving back to my local community was something I felt was needed. Yes, I got paid, but just enough to pay the rent that month.
Built a 100% Javascript ES5 driven navigation system that is content publishing platform agnostic. I'm still super proud of this work.
Back In The Day
In the Beginning
Designed and Built Things
Starting out wasn't easy but it was fun! I did a ton of contract work for big companies, explored the boundaries of design/coding/culture, and even launched a couple of startups.
-
IGT showed me how platforms can look a lot like consumer experiences
-
illstatic.com taught me that I could Design and Code
-
Method showed me how to scale commerce systems
-
Wells Fargo introduced me to the finer details for complex email projects
-
Toyota & Scion kicked off my career by allow me to collaborate with some of the best engineers, art directors, and biz dev folks around
2019 - 2020
Leveling Up!
Figma, React, & Storybook
As I stepped back into my work shoes I knew that I had to step up my game. My ES6 was sub par, I'd spent 6+ years in Sketch, and Figma based Design Systems became the standard. So…
-
Finished a MERN bootcamp & built my first React & Redux MVP with Slektor
-
Collaborated with MikaelV to convert my Clariture work into a truly integrated Figma, React, & Storybook Design System
2014-2018
CLARITURE HEALTH

BIOGRAPHY
"Selino is an ultimate triple-threat. He brings an amazing amount of UX and UI experience to the table along with the technical abilities to make them happen in HTML and Javascript. He's that all-in-one UI guy that is always needed and rarely found."
Paul Clegg
Senior Web Developer, Collabnet
I'm mostly self taught, bootcamp taught, and team member taught. I have spent the last decade designing in Sketch while building in vanilla JS, frameworks like Angular, and libraries like React.
I do not have a CS degree and have not spent a lot of time contemplating the Gang of Four design patterns in C++ or white boarding algorithms to traverse linked lists with O(log n) time complexity. I mean we can talk about it but that's not my jam.
My jam is keeping up with UI/UX patterns that are succeeding in enterprise and consumer interfaces, prototyping UI, and then building responsive and elegant components that scale to millions of users within 2-3 week agile release cycles.
Let me know if you'd like to collaborate and we'll make it happen.
Peace out! ✌🏾
