I was born and raised in Manila, where I studied at De La Salle College of Saint Benilde's School of Design and Arts. Throughout my life, I've been driven by an insatiable desire to nurture my creative sensibilities through art, music, fashion, and film. While my formal education and professional work have centered on 2D hand-drawn animation, I've always found a natural kinship with cinematography and photography. These different mediums speak the same visual language to me, each offering its own unique way to bring stories to life.
