Designer-Photographer hybrid crafting distinct brand identities and visual narratives for mission-driven brands.
As a photographer-turned-brand alchemist, I transform visual identities by fusing the tradition and trend. My approach is rooted in the interplay of form and function, a hallmark of my formative years in the rich cultural tapestry of the Philippines and Oakland's vibrant urban canvas.
I specialize in distilling brand essences into visual narratives that resonate across eras. By weaving contemporary and historical iconography into design language, my mission is to seek out a brand identity that is unique in it’s juxtaposition of fresh and familiar—a visual homage to Modernist mid-century movements that speaks fluently to today's audience.
As a self-taught creative, I craft visuals that illuminate the soul of a brand, ensuring eye-catching results that captures the heart. Each project is an opportunity to blend cultural depth with cutting-edge design, resulting in timeless identities that stand out in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
A mid-century modernist in a post-modern world.

WORDS FROM THE WORK
▴
WORDS FROM THE WORK ▴
Born of rapid economic growth and corporate polish, the Mid-Century Modern movement of the 50s and 60s prized clarity, function, and aesthetic order.
In an age of noise and uncertainty, I repurpose this visual legacy to advance the greater good. Using these sensibilities, I help shape meaning, spark action, and design for change.
This isn’t nostalgia. It’s reinvention.
