Hi, I’m Nerissa Monton

I’m a second-gen Filipina-American senior UI/UX Designer based in Virginia Beach, VA specializing in design systems, web accessibility, and human-centered design.

I believe great design is more than aesthetics—it’s about understanding people, context of behavior, leveraging data, and creating intuitive experiences that empower users. With a strong foundation in emotional intelligence and problem-solving, I thrive on collaborating with teams to craft digital products that are not only visually compelling but also functional, inclusive, and impactful.
