Other works.

Not every project is a full case study. This is where the brand exploration, social publications, merch, and illustration work live — the range behind the strategy.

01 — brand identity

Three directions, one brand — KSH Food.

Before landing on a final identity, I develop full brand proposals — logo lockups, color systems, typography, and mock packaging — so a client can see the difference a creative direction actually makes, not just describe it.

3 proposals shown

Proposal 1Playful & Character-Driven

logo · color · packaging

An illustrated mascot built around Kush, a bright palette (Popcorn Yellow, Sun Dried Tomato), and rounded typography — designed for strong brand recall with a family-friendly audience.

Proposal 2Artisanal & Handmade

selected direction

Vintage-inspired script typography, organic earth tones (Sagebrush Bronze, Burnt Sienna), and a home-cooked aesthetic — positioning the brand as premium and authentic. This direction was chosen by the client as the final brand.

Proposal 3Modern & Minimal

logo · color · packaging

A flexible, minimal logo system built to scale cleanly across packaging and digital — Crimson Depth and Warm Sand, with a mark designed to work as small as a favicon or as large as a delivery bag.

02 — social media publications

Designed for a persona, not just a page.

Publication design for Precious Loves, a drag persona I designed for from 2022–2023 — monthsary posts, event key art, and campaign posters built around a consistent visual voice.

2 publication sets shown

Precious Loves Monthsary Series

Milestone posts marking each "monthsary," built on a consistent red palette and bold display type that read instantly in-feed, even shrunk to a thumbnail.

Prenaissance Event Key Art

event campaign

A poster campaign for a block screening and drag show, co-presented with Beyoncé Philippines — the middle piece shown here is a sample exploration, not part of the final campaign.

03 — merch design

From concept to something people actually wear.

Merch design across causes and communities — apparel, tote bags, lanyards, and stickers, each designed to hold up printed, not just on screen.

LAYAG — Red Cross Youth Council Zamboanga

logo · illustration · apparel

As special project designer, I created the art, logo, and collaborated for the full merchandise line for LAYAG — originally proposed for a fun run fundraiser, later launched as camping-event merch bundled with camp tickets.

Precious Loves — Donation Drive Thank-You Set

print · sticker · illustration

Thank-you cards and illustrated stickers of Precious Paula Nicole, designed for a shirt donation drive raising funds for elderly care ("Golden Lolas").

04 — architecture

The lens everything else runs through.

I'm training as an architect — and it's not a side note. Architecture trains you to think in systems before aesthetics, to ask why something needs to exist before it gets built. These two projects are where that thinking started.

2 projects

La Vida Marina Museo de Zamboanga

design · architecture

A parametric facade system that moves like water — designed for Zamboanga's marine life and seafaring culture.

Modern 3-Storey Residential House

design · architecture

A 3-storey residential concept built on clear vertical zoning — private life stacked above, public life grounded below.

05 — art & illustration

Where the design instincts started.

Self-taught in illustration since 2019 — this is the personal practice that everything else is built on: portraiture, texture, and character work made in my own time.

5 collections shown

11.png

Killing Eve — Fan Art

digital painting

Digital portrait studies from Killing Eve, starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer — focused on capturing tension and expression between the two leads.

12.png

Random Series

digital painting · texture study

A collection made in free time, exploring texture as the main subject — a recurring red, grey, and black palette runs through the series, balancing boldness with edge.

13.png

Regine Velasquez — 52nd Birthday Series

fashion portrait illustration

A more minimalist approach than earlier work — clean line illustration paired with selective texture and color to add character without losing simplicity.

14.png

Iconic Collection

digital painting · fashion illustration

A fashion-forward portrait series exploring mood through color blocking and line work — from stark black-and-white studies to saturated color pieces.

Pin-a-Guhit Kita

illustration · custom pins

Custom pin illustrations made for lulla by iya, a pin business owned by my best friend — a mix of portraits, pets, and duo pieces, hand-drawn in a consistent black-and-white line style for custom orders.

This range of work — strategy, brand, merch, and illustration — is exactly what I bring to every project.
