Ola! I’m Grae, a designer and an artist currently based in Manila. I am an advocate of good design, and a dedicated student of the creative world — from print, art, interfaces as well as user experiences.

After being mentored as a designer at different design agencies, I’ve spent my early 20’s designing experiences and interfaces for the leading telco in our country. I’ve helped bring design awards to them for their apps and websites.

I’ve spent my late 20’s working at a design agency in Singapore as a lead creative and it was also the time when I acquired my UX certification from the Nielsen Norman Group. I have also been deployed to different MNCs such as: PayPal, Visa and FWD Insurance. I’ve had the privilege of building and influencing their branding and campaigns along with their social media, email, website and app designs.

A couple of years after, I’ve been set to an entrepreneurial expedition at the same design agency on a bigger role as a Managing Director.
I was tasked to create a branch in Manila and build a team of multimedia designers, experience designers and developers to create award winning portfolios for the clients that I’ve brought in: SM, Globe, DITO, Udenna, FWD Insurance and Singlife.

I’ve also helped develop operations, marketing and creative strategies and grown the team that have generated millions in revenue.

Today, I have the role of a Chief Design Officer for Servbees, a marketplace and gig hub app in Southeast Asia, a design consultant for Wish 107.5, a leading youtube channel with 4.7 Billion views and I am currently working on my own NFT project.

During my free time, I also do traditional painting and exhibit them at different galleries. They can also be seen at different establishments across the country.

Cheers to hustlers making it on their own terms.
