Worked on many major accounts: Danone, Pizza Hut, Mobily, Pascucci, 2in1 Restaurants, Raj, Perkys Pizza, King Faisal Cancer Center, Shoemart, IBM Asia Pacific College.

I first became interested in art and design during my younger years at 10 after getting involved with a friend who has their own print shop dealing with signs. We use to hang out at their shop doodling and messing with paints. Aside from being hooked on shows like Sesame Street, Marvel and DC comics, I became interested with typography then soon with packaging. I was fascinated with brand labels and their various styles and colors.

But as fate would have it I started my formal art education in 1992. I took up Fine Arts at the Technological University of the Philippines majoring in Advertising. At the end of 1996 I took up part-time employment as a designer, and doing my apprenticeship at Leo Burnett doing design and final artwork. In 1999 after finishing my studies, I was immediately offered a job in a publishing firm called Next Media. Slam, Golf, Volume, Teen, Philippine Tatler were just among the list of famous brands under its umbrella. I have been also lucky to get two years' experience working in a well knowned fast paced international environments under my belt, some of these include companies such as Fashion TV and Planet X.

My very recent fulltime work was a 5 years contract as an Art Director in a Multi-Disciplinary design agency in Saudi Arabia. The role enabled me to develop my skill capability, in particular branding and management.

I'm currently on freelance working with clients from the Middle east and the Philippines. Working on variety of work from Branding, Identity, Illustration, Web Design.
