ABOUT ME

On a mission to make things that matter.

So I'm a designer….. but let’s be real, that’s pretty vague nowadays.

In my case I’m a Brand Identity Designer, with a background in Graphic Design who currently loves Motion Design.

Every day I strive to use these skills alongside a strategy-driven approach to help build authentic brand identity systems.

I’m a proud Australian-born Filipina. My mixed cultures have a strong impact on the way I see the world: one guides me to treat everyone - regardless of background - with fairness and equality; and the other keeps me grounded, humble, and, reminds me of the importance of giving back to the community and families that raise us.

I have a strong belief that creatives have an important role to play in this world. I think our superpowers are that we are makers, crafters and experts in translating concepts into things that move, speak and can be interacted with, and if that’s the case then we should treat everything as an opportunity to do so.
