Industrial and footwear designer based in Manila, Philippines. I design technical products for real Philippine conditions, from monsoon streets to rice fields to climbing gyms, and take them to prototype with local makers.

Gear, vehicles and machines built around local problems, and designed with manufacturing in mind from the first sketch.
Product design overview3D-printed finger trainer for climbers
The crimp wrestler is a tabletop finger-strength duel that climbers love. Pocket Wrestler shrinks it into a single-finger version that clips to your chalk bag.
Electric hand tractor for Filipino farms
The kuliglig, the Filipino hand tractor, is the workhorse of small farms. Its design has barely moved: an exposed diesel engine that hits the farmer with fumes, noise and vibration all day.
E-trike and route system for Mandaluyong
Mandaluyong's e-trikes still run on rules borrowed from the gas tricycle. This project redesigns the vehicle and the way its routes operate.
Electric skateboard for city commuters
A 27-inch electric board for city commuters: light enough to carry all day, stable enough for busy streets.
Two trade fair stand concepts
Two exhibition stand concepts, each shaped around a different kind of brand: a warm coffee and spirits lounge and a bold tech and gaming stand.
Technical sneakers, climbing shoes and full collections, taken from sketch to tech pack to factory sample with Filipino makers and materials.
Footwear design overviewWeather-resistant technical sneaker
The rainy season here lasts for months. Wave started as a design challenge: a high-top slip-on I could wear every day, whatever the forecast.
Climbing shoes with printed textiles
Climbing shoes are built for performance and almost never for personality. Bloom pairs precision friction rubber with bold printed textiles.
Original sneaker collection for a Filipino brand
Finn Cotton built its name on unique sneakers at fair prices, but its early lines were off-the-shelf designs from China.
Avant-garde high-top with Negros handwoven cloth
BIGWASI sets an avant-garde silhouette against Filipino material heritage.
Handmade premium court sneaker
PAMBA is a handmade premium casual sneaker in two colorways, each drawn from a Filipino icon.
Basketball shoe inspired by the basahan rag
Almost every Filipino home has one: the round patchwork basahan, a rag stitched together from fabric offcuts and sold by street vendors.
Product visualization from scene setup to final frame: lighting, materials, camera and art direction, from clean catalogue angles to moody hero shots.
3d rendering overviewLaunch render set for an echo pedal
Vesper is a compact echo pedal: two knobs, a tape-or-digital toggle, and an orbit graphic whose rings read like repeats fading out.
Consumer tech render study
A render study of the Meta Quest 3, chasing the bright, soft look of consumer tech launch imagery.
Studio hero render study
One frame of a Formula 1 car, lit like a launch reveal.
AboutIndustrial + footwear designer · Manila
I studied industrial design at the University of Santo Tomas and have worked across product, footwear, apparel, exhibition and graphic design since, including two years as an art director leading a team. Today I'm Product Design & Innovation Lead at Music Tribe.
Footwear has been the constant: I've designed shoes since 2018, and several have gone into factory production. I work from sketches to CAD, Blender renders and prototypes, with AI tools like Vizcom and Claude speeding up concepts, colorways and research.
