Summary
Chia Amisola is a Product Designer with nine years of experience blending interaction design, prototyping, and product strategy across fast-moving consumer apps and creative research institutions. Currently at Figma, she prototypes user-facing interactions while also founding and running projects that archive and interrogate Filipino internet culture through the Philippine Internet Archive. She built and leads Developh, an institute reclaiming technology for liberation—designing, developing, and organizing programs that have reached millions and raised significant festival funding. Her background spans design roles at Kumu, Spotify, and Yale’s Center for Collaborative Arts and Media, reflecting a practice that sits between product systems and cultural practice. Known for hands-on execution as much as curation, she moves fluidly between shipping design systems and stewarding long-term community archives. Based in New York but deeply engaged with Philippine digital culture, she brings a rare mix of product discipline and archival activism to her work.
