Hello.

I’m a Japanese-Cebuano mutt with a passion for branding, new media 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.

It’s been 8 years since we started and we’ve put a lot of thought into how we can take the industry up the next step.

We believe it’s time.

Presenting,

SOVL – focused on premium wear and tailor-made pieces celebrating the Life After Skate™ – that time of day after a session when he wears slick kicks and gear to a night out with his chic.

Welcome to our next step into bringing the Cebuano street wear industry to the next level.

Featuring:
S/S Chambray w/ Bolt embroidery on left chest
S/S Striped Linen w/ Bolt embroidery on left chest

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.
