I currently work full-time with Studio Dialogo, a boutique design studio specializing in corporate identity design, environmental graphic design, and illustration. I am also part of Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan, an organization of Filipino artists dedicated to the creation, promotion, and appreciation of illustration for children. I have also previously volunteered at Got Heart Foundation for a few years.

In 2015 (July-Dec), I was part of an internship at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York, under the Bartels Scientific Illustration Internship Program. My projects were focused on conservation education materials for children featuring the critically endangered Philippine Eagle.

Full CV available upon request.

I work, play, and experiment with different materials. 
I can draw and paint using traditional media or through the computer. My professional experience from working with Studio Dialogo for the past seven years has also exposed me to working with a wide variety of clients, suppliers, industrial materials, and production processes.


I am very much inspired by plants, animals, natural history, local culture, and travel.
I especially enjoy working on projects related to these topics. I also like working with people from different fields and expertise, which is part of what draws me to working with advocacy groups and other organizations related to my interests. I like learning from others alongside contributing my own work to a project.
