About the Author

"Walang pera sa Fine Arts (There's no money in Fine Arts)", said my parents when I told them what I wanted to take in college. So instead I studied Architecture and graduated in 1996.

I didn't get to design for an architectural firm. I've worked as a store planner, a visual display artist, a furniture designer, a housware and decor designer, a graphic designer, a jewelry and fashion accessories designer in the span of 10 years.

I got tired of designing... for non-creative bosses, for companies with limited facilities that put restrictions to a designer's creativity, for those who expect more but provide less.

In 2007 I worked as an office clerk in my father's distributor company and lived a carefree life for 3 years. I got weary and found no fulfillment in what I do. I realized that an artist like me lives to create.

So now here I am in a journey, discovering along the way, in a rough road to a place where I can sustain my talents and where my talents can sustain me. I want to be my own boss, my all-around employee and  satisfy  my own clients with what I do best.
