About me

I am a creative problem solver through effective design. I was born in the Philippines and currently based in London. I have been doing digital and print design, illustration, 2D animation, and photography work for small businesses to NGOs to multinational corporations like UNICEF, World Vision, Unilever, DHL Express, and Lufthansa in the past 12 years. I am interested in art, design, illustration, photography, coffee, travel, and anything Japanese. I like to read graphic novels especially manga (I am a fan of One Piece). I draw and do photography during my free time. I also like experimenting on different ways to marinate and cook meat. I am also interested in languages. I can read and write a bit of Japanese and understand a little Spanish. I like spending quality time with my wife: discussing our Christian faith, current events, music, films, TV series, and zombie apocalypse survival ideas.

  Instituto Cervantes de Manila BookletThe opportunity to design for Instituto Cervantes de Manila is especially close to my heart. European and Latin American publications influenced me significantly when I started learning how to design and layout. It was a meaningful experience to have had the opportunity to collaborate closely with them. My first project is a redesign of their 28-page quarterly booklet. The challenge was to condense the information and make it more readable. I worked with my wife, a writer, in editing the booklet
