I am an Architect based in Cebu City, Philippines, shaped by a lineage of Architects, Engineers, and medical professionals—an environment where precision, creativity, and curiosity naturally intersect. Growing up in the province, I developed an early fascination with the quiet potential of everyday objects. A stick, a stone—simple elements that sparked a deeper understanding of how raw materials can evolve into purposeful design or expressive art. This perspective continues to inform my work today. I approach architecture not merely as the design of buildings, but as a holistic and immersive discipline—one that operates.
