HEY HI HELLO 

I'm Bianca Dadivas!

Imagine a whirlwind of positive energy, armed with a laptop in one hand and a passport in the other. That's me – a California native who’s equal parts adventurer and meticulous planner.

Connector of Dots

As a kid, while others were playing dress-up, I was busy conquering Brain Quest and piecing together puzzles. That early love for problem-solving wasn’t just a phase—it laid the groundwork for how I think, create, and approach design today. For me, design has always been more than aesthetics; it’s about curiosity, strategy, and finding clarity in the complex. I love digging into the “why” behind a project, connecting the dots others might miss, and helping shape ideas from early ideation to thoughtful, intentional execution. I bring a balance of conceptual and critical thinking to every challenge through asking questions, exploring possibilities, and building solutions that are not only visually strong but strategically sound.

From Airports to Aesthetics

With over 30 countries stamped in my passport, my worldview has been shaped by a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, people, and perspectives. Each trip has added a new layer to how I approach design—broadening my lens, refining my sensitivity to consumer needs, and helping me create frameworks with a more inclusive and adaptable mindset. I have had the opportunity to work on global teams and contribute to projects that span multiple markets, which has deepened my understanding of how design needs to flex across cultures while staying true to the brand. This global perspective allows me to connect with a wide range of audiences and bring fresh, relevant ideas to the table. It is not just about inspiration—it is about creating thoughtful, scalable design that resonates across borders. I believe this kind of awareness strengthens any team aiming to make an impact on a global scale.

Cross-Functional Teammate

Put me in a team, that’s where I do my best work! I thrive on the energy of collaboration, where ideas are shared openly, perspectives are valued, and creativity is built together. I believe the strongest design solutions come from collective thinking, not working in isolation. Contributing to a team that builds on communication, exploration, and shared goals is where I find momentum—and where I can add the most strength.

Master of Contrast

Here’s where it gets interesting: I live in the sweet spot between spontaneity and structure. I am someone who can embrace a last-minute idea and also help form it into a purposeful, actionable plan. That balance helps me stay adaptable, support my team through shifting priorities, and help craft engaging brand experiences that’s both imaginative and grounded. I love facilitating cross-team synergy to turn big-picture thinking into meaningful, well-executed design.

Let's Connect!

I’m an open book with a commitment to growth, always pursuing what drives effective results. Whether you're looking to partner on a project, swap travel stories, or challenge me to a puzzle-solving showdown, I am all ears. So, buckle up and get ready for a wild ride through the dynamic, organized chaos that is my world of design!

the good stuff

The recognition celebrated emerging voices in retail who were contributing to the future of design through creativity and purpose.

It was a privilege to be selected for the Van Doren Spirit Award at Vans, a recognition given to team members who exemplify the values of our founder, Paul Van Doren—leading with integrity, championing collaboration, and contributing to a positive and creative culture. This award was a meaningful affirmation of the way I work: with purpose, empathy, and a commitment to team success. It reflects my belief that great results come not just from strong ideas, but from how we support one another in bringing them to life. I carry this mindset into every project and team I’m part of.
