I have proficient design, illustration, and page lay-out skills. I am also fluent in both Filipino and English. Multi-tasking activities across different fields helped me develop a holistic formation added to efficient work ethics. Having been immersed with many projects and clients, I always try to look for ways of doing things differently. 6 years of being a long distance athlete also developed my discipline and perseverance that have helped me succeed on other aspects. All these aspects sustain my passion for learning new things and taking on new challenges.
