I craft wondrous games, art, and design that advocate meaningful, layered storymaking.
Our worlds, whether real or imagined, burst with infinite color and perspective. My enduring dream is to unveil a slice of its possibilities—and inspire others to do the same.

Illustration
Vivid, mysterious, mesmerizing. Digital illustrations drawn with care and craft.
I’ve been drawing wondrous art since 2010, after saving up to buy a secondhand Wacom tablet. The vast majority of my artworks are personal pieces, but I’ve also had the honor of working with RPG designers to bring fantastic concepts to life.
Graphic Design
Working with both indie and corporate clients, I specialize in clean and striking design, with a strong focus on readability. Here are my three favorite projects.
Making Growth Work for the Poor
World Bank Philippines embarked on a landmark 2018 report on poverty in the Philippines. I was commissioned to design its layout plus infographics that can vividly convey the complex story.
I juggled charts, spreadsheets, and reams of writing to come up with an unconventional, eye-striking art direction.
Mindanao Trust Fund
In 2016, I had the honor of working with the Mindanao Trust Fund, a World Bank project that uplifts Bangsamoro institutions via livelihood, capacitation, and other programs. They’ve helped improve the lives of thousands of people living in a conflict-afflicted area of the Philippines.
I worked closely with their team to design a wide array of materials, from ecobags to annual reports to stickers.
Tabletop RPGs
Tabletop RPGs require clear and evocative layout: balancing text and the grid with evocative images that bring out the game’s thematic flavor.
I’ve collaborated with a few indie designers to create the best design for their games, but admittedly I’m a little selfish and tend to focus the majority of my design work on my own games!
