What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities in a creative environment where I can apply my artistic skills and collaborate on innovative projects that inspire and engage audiences.

As a passionate multimedia artist, I specialize in character illustration and graphic design, striving to create art that resonates with audiences and tells unique stories. My freelance work has allowed me to produce custom illustrations and logos for various international clients, ensuring their vision is brought to life through my artistic skills.

Throughout my education at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, I honed my skills in branding, color theory, and typography, achieving recognition as a Dean’s Lister. My academic projects, including a thesis on environmental preservation, showcase my ability to lead teams and deliver high-quality outputs, such as responsive websites and interactive designs.

With experience in children's book illustration and branding projects, I am adept at collaborating with clients and teams to create visually appealing designs that meet specific needs. I am excited to continue my journey in the creative industry, where I can further develop my skills and contribute to innovative projects.
