About Me

I have always been passionate in creating aesthetically-pleasing, eye-catching designs. My journey started when accessible and beginner-friendly platforms, like Canva, became available. When the COVID-19 pandemic happened, I decided to start trying for freelance jobs while doing the one thing I loved the most—designing.

Moreover, I am also a proud Development Communicator. In DevCom, we put people in the center, empowering them to improve their lives and communities. We also put a premium to communities’ participation, because development is never one-sided.

I believe that in any output created, the audience should always be the #1 consideration. With experience in graphic designing and Development Communication, I always make sure that the designs I make should be appropriate, not just trendy and “aesthetically-pleasing”.

With these expertise, I always strive to blend creativity with purpose.
