I'm a multidisciplinary designer and illustrator, based in Long Beach CA, who finds joy in projects that are playful yet meaningful. I find inspiration everywhere, from traditional art to fun and quirky objects.
CONTACT ME if you're interested in my availability for projects, need an estimate for your logo and marketing materials, or just to say hello.
Designer Bio:I've always been in love with art as a child. I would often draw in class when bored and get my doodles confiscated by teachers who would later ask me if they could keep my artwork. Pretty big ego boost for a kid. So I wanted to be an artist. Well actually, I wanted to be a lot of things. An astronaut, singer, vet, scientist, etc. But being Filipino and in stereotypical fashion, my mother wanted me to become a doctor. Art was out of the question. I actually spent a couple of days in medical school and immediately realized it was not for me. So I quickly did a u-turn and completed my education in Computer Science. Soon after, my family emigrated from the Philippines to the United States, where I am now a citizen. My passion for art never left me and I continued to draw and paint as a hobby while working as a software engineer for companies like Litton/PRC (now Northrop Grumman) and Lockheed Martin.
My career change was apparent when I finally decided to take graphic design courses at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, DC. Over the years, I've worked on a broad spectrum of projects for iconic corporate brands as well as nonprofit organizations. I continue to welcome clients and collaborators who are like-minded in their passion for creativity and love of the design process.
