What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead hospitality, interiors, product development, or design-led ventures where creative ideas become practical, commercially viable, and well-executed products, spaces, and experiences.

At Filo — Finding Local Makers, I develop a design and hospitality platform connecting local makers, furniture, interiors, and travel experiences across the Philippines.

I lead hospitality concepts and properties from idea to execution, shaping interior direction, furniture and product development, sourcing, procurement, budgeting, and guest experience.

I build relationships with property owners, artisans, manufacturers, and creative partners to create distinctive spaces and locally made products. I also lead branding, marketing, content, partnerships, and business development to bring projects to market.

Through Wellmade Supply Studio, I turn design concepts into products, spaces, partnerships, and businesses—from the first idea through final launch.
