Principal-Led,
By Design

Tassilo is led by its principals. Terry Esguerra builds the systems and designs the learning; Joaquin Malalad leads design and the front end. There are no account managers and no handovers — the people who scope your project are the people who build it.

That structure is why the judgement holds up: when a scholarly association asked us to rebuild a platform holding two decades of member records, we told them the migration risk was too high and delivered a staged overhaul instead. Slower, less impressive, and the right call.

We work in defined phases with a fixed price at each one, so you always know what the next step costs before you commit to it.

Behind the studio: a master's in computer science, thirteen years of software engineering, and about a decade of teaching game design, UI/UX, instructional design and 3D at university level — which means we design the learning, not just host it.

Joaquin is a UI/UX Designer with deep expertise in LMS Development, Instructional Design, and digital product design — crafting experiences that are as purposeful as they are compelling. A Licensed Professional Teacher by formation, his background in education shapes every design decision: the way a user navigates a screen, the clarity of an onboarding flow, the trust a brand communicates at first glance.
