About Eric Luciano

What’s on my plate

Currently, I’m a Principal UI Designer at PayMongo (YC 19). I focus on designing the early stages of the Merchant Dashboard and PayMongo Pages, and I now oversee the PayMongo Checkout domain. Previously, I led the design system efforts and provided guidance to other UI designers on the team.

Before joining PayMongo

I was the Senior UI/UX Designer for Multisys Technologies Corporation – a software solutions company whose mission is to build a sustainable and future-ready society by providing smart solutions to empower businesses and partners to expedite and streamline their processes – Collaborating closely with the development team to create designs and prototypes for clients and internal projects. Assisting and mentoring fellow designers in the design process and converting designs into code using CSS and HTML.

My goals as designer

I’m passionate about design systems. While I believe not every component belongs in the system, I advocate for thorough team discussion, meticulous planning, comprehensive documentation, and interactive workshops to ensure new components align with our team’s needs. I prioritize assessing our existing resources before proposing new additions. My expertise lies in Dashboard design, where I enjoy enhancing user experiences through thoughtful micro-interactions, sometimes even contributing code to implement them.
