I start by learning about your goals and what you want to achieve. This helps me understand the scope and specific tasks you need assistance with.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) and 2 Years in Visual Communications and Design from UVNS (University of the Visayas New School of Art & Design).

I started my professional journey in 2008, initially taking on roles as a freelance and part-time designer and photo editor. Over the years, this path has provided me with invaluable experience, allowing me to work with a diverse range of both international and local clients. This exposure has broadened my expertise across various facets of graphic design, enabling me to tackle a wide array of creative challenges.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients, both international and local. This has exposed me to various project types and industries, including: Small to Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs): Helping them establish or refine their brand identity, create marketing materials, and develop their online presence. E-commerce businesses: Designing product images, website graphics, and promotional materials for online stores. Individuals and Startups: Assisting with personal branding, logo design, and initial visual collateral to help them launch. Marketing and Advertising Agencies (potentially as a white-label service): Contributing design assets for their campaigns and client projects. Publishing (both print and digital): Creating layouts, illustrations, and cover designs for various publications. My experience spans various graphic design needs, from basic photo editing to comprehensive brand development, for clients across different sectors.

One rewarding recent project was for an international client specializing in organic products. I handled the logo redesign and packaging overhaul for their "House of Bamboo" line. For the logo, I created a sophisticated emblem combining stylized bamboo elements with a natural, organic feel, using an earthy, serene color palette. The packaging redesign focused on sustainable materials and minimalist aesthetics, with custom illustrations hinting at the product's natural origins. This project, from concept to final files, took about 1 week.

When hiring a design professional: Be clear about what you need (e.g., logo, website). Check their portfolio to see if their style matches yours. Look for good communication – they should listen and be responsive. Understand their process and pricing upfront.

Before talking to a design professional, clients should think through these key questions: What is the primary goal of this project? (e.g., increase sales, build brand awareness, launch a new product) Who is my target audience? (e.g., age, demographics, interests, values) What message or feeling do I want to convey? (e.g., modern, trustworthy, playful, luxurious) Do I have any existing brand guidelines, logos, or assets? What is my realistic budget for this project? What is my desired timeline or deadline? Are there any design styles, colors, or examples I like or dislike? What specific deliverables do I expect to receive? (e.g., file types, number of concepts) What makes my business/product unique compared to competitors?
