About
I’ve spent the last decade helping founders and editors say things visually — first at a Makati agency, now independently from a small studio in Marikina filled with paper samples.
I believe good design is mostly listening. The portfolio above is what happened after clients felt heard.
I take on three new projects per quarter. Tell me about yours and I’ll reply within two working days.
