What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote, onsite in Metro Manila, hybrid, or project-based work, and I’m ready to start right away.

At Galleria Duemila, I designed catalogues, invitations, and posters, and made artwork photographs and video reels. When test prints didn’t match the digital proofs, I tested color profiles and soft proofed each image so the prints came close to the artworks on screen.

At the Presidential Communications Operations Office, I produced social cards, teaser animations, infographics, and motion graphics for national campaigns including ASEAN 2017 and the Tax Reform Forum. I also designed newsletters and presentation decks within strict brand guidelines and tight deadlines.

At Documenta Fifteen, I was Load na Dito’s sole on-ground representative, independently running one exhibition and three activities. Across my work, I’ve created design, video, photography, and social content, and hosted artists and curators from around the world.
