About me

Profoundly shaped by combined 25 years of experience in creative design, from hands-on illustrations to digital artistry and multimedia. I'm a senior exhibition, events, and multi-media designer. Proficiency across a broad range of project design spectrum, 2D & 3D design, animation, video editing and post-processing, and digital content development. Passion for arts, music, illustrations, painting, script writing, gaming, song composition, and a groovy member of a rock/reggae band.

Humbly I started as production artist and for years I worked hard to gain knowledge one step at a time to accelerate my career in creatives. Designing creative vision, environments and experiential marketing activation that disrupt, engage and convert.

Previous work experiences includes layout artist in CFA Philippines, head of Creative arts in Magnavision Inc. for 6 years, Production artist at World Image Int'l. (Dubai) for 2 years, Events/Exhibition/Multi-media Senior designer at Pico Dubai for a solid span of 11 years and now currently rendering my functional extensive background in creative design with DWTC. My work includes designing exhibitions and trade show stands, events, brand activation, product launches, road-shows, corporate events, conferences, award ceremonies, festivals, expo country pavilions, multi-media animations, content development and brand experience. Then I moved to Singapore and join Freeman APAC just before the breakout and lockdowns... but that's a story for another day. :)

Years of experience gave me a solid foundation on my design and technical skills. From understanding the brief and translating it into visuals to rendering creative input from the inception stage of design work to final production. Engaging visitors to the client's total brand experience. Part of my creative tasks is to present my work in more dynamic and immersive visuals by combining graphic design with animation and/or interactivity to create digital content, videos and presentations.

I'm a GenX, born and raised in Bulacan, Philippines. I have strong passion for arts, music, gaming, film, technology and recreational activities. I don't smoke but I'm a heavy coffee drinker. I want to travel the world whenever I could. I enjoy jamming with my band. I love what I do and the challenges within it. I'm a team player, motivator, coach and a big brother who can balance tight work load with good sense of humor to lighten up positive working environment to support, mentor and empower my team.
