Hello.

I’m a Japanese-Cebuano mutt with a passion for advertising and design. An art director all day and creative foodie by night. Trust me, dinner at my house? Awesome.

Also, winner of top international creative awards! Okay, that’s almost true. (^_^)v

Critics describe my style as,
introducing the right amount of chaos to create the perfect balance.

This creative mind goes beyond borders. I have collaborated with advertising agencies, design studios and clients from around the world across various industries including apparel, broadcast, entertainment and furniture — to name a few.

Hit me up. Bring the noize.

Out of Scratch: #Cebu #Sinulog2012

A story behind Sinulog 2012 and how we all changed the way the Philippines sees Cebu.

Once upon a time, there was an island. That island became Cebu.

Mad love & respect to the people of Cebu and to everyone who came to be a part of that unforgettable Sinulog Sunday.

Livable Cebu // E01

Cebu, as we know it, is the 2nd largest metropolitan in the Philippines. It’s growing at a really fast pace. Because of this, more and more people move to Cebu and it’s become so traffic with the pursuit to move people around. All this is giving certain politicians ideas for more “ideal” projects even if there are more important issues to address.

This is our effort to show you how nice the city sidewalks have become in certain areas. Unfortunately, not many take time to notice it. As a brand rooted in the streets, we want to bring people back to streets and prefer an alternative mode of transport that is oil-free and fun – skateboarding.

Skate your city. It’s yours, too.

The passion for people – it’s what we connect for.

You are here. WTF is here?! #map

Shopping this holiday season can be a b*tch, especially in the huge malls that we have here in Cali. Now, you no longer have to find a “you are here” map again (you’re already lost to begin with.haha).

or when you wanna do a Tower Heist or an Ocean’s 11 job, here’s a little help from our friends at Google. Start here.

Beauty is the Opposite of Vulgarity / Massimo Vignelli

Massimo Vignelli is one of the great creatives that I look up to and always learn from. His work is semantically correct, syntactically consistent, and pragmatically understandable.

He likes it to be visually powerful, intellectually elegant, and above all timeless.
