About

I am an experienced visual communicator and graphic designer with a background spanning commercial, corporate, publishing, and advertising projects. I have worked as a book illustrator, creative director, and art director, creating illustrations, brand materials, presentations, storyboards, corporate visuals, and advertising concepts for clients in the Philippines and Cambodia.

I enjoy combining traditional and digital illustration with design, video editing, motion, and 3D visualization to communicate ideas clearly and creatively. Over the years, my work has been recognized through several industry awards, and I continue to bring a thoughtful, versatile, and collaborative approach to every visual project.
