About this listen

Neicy Pilarca is a product designer based in Tokyo, where she designs for identity and access management at HENNGE, a cybersecurity firm.

She studied Management Information Systems at Ateneo and moved to Japan in 2019. Since then, she’s worked across healthcare and cybersecurity—designing everything from emotion recognition tools to wellness apps, and even found herself at dinner with Figma’s CEO.

In this episode, we talk about moving to Japan straight out of college, navigating language barriers at work, breaking into UX without formal training—and what it means to grow as a designer far from home.
