Explore Your Creativity
and Give it Room to Grow
There have been many unexpected detours on my creative journey…
My route began in Manila in the Philippines, and it’s taken me all over the world. I’m now based in Berlin, Germany, and travel and art remain my biggest passions, fueling my creative practice and inspiring my work.
Along the way, I’ve pursued numerous different creative paths. I’m a published author of seven bestselling books, I’ve designed a wide range of products for well-known brands, and I also ran my own online stationery shop for a while.
Now, I’m on a mission to make art more accessible and guide you on your own creative journey, wherever you’re at. My main focus is teaching and sharing what I know while also cultivating a strong, creative community who not only love and support my work, but also their own and each other’s.
