About

I’m a graphic designer who likes making things that actually get used.

I specialize in apparel, merchandise, and digital creative, with a background that helps me think about both the message and the visual execution.

I hold a BA in Organizational Communication from the University of the Philippines Manila. Professionally, I have created production-ready apparel and merchandise designs for U.S. collegiate organizations, worked at high volume, and helped onboard and train designers.

My freelance work spans graphic design, illustration, writing, copywriting, video editing, marketing materials, and digital content for small and medium businesses. Earlier communication and operations roles sharpened the organization, care, and follow-through I bring to creative work.
