sandbox /ˈsændˌbɒks/
noun

  1. a box or receptacle for holding sand large enough for children to play in
  2. a protected environment in which new content may be created and tested without affecting other parts of the system

Akin to the sandbox in the local playground, the sandbox is a place where I explore my childlike wonder and play. Here you’ll find some of the work I’ve done over the years. Feel free to look around and share me your thoughts. I’m open for commissions!

Textures and Patterns

Patterns are ubiquitous in nature. They represent order and predictability in an otherwise random and chaotic world. Several cultures have adapted patterns and patterns continue to be integral in modern art and architecture.

Modern

Minimalist designs started to dominate living and recreational spaces. Empty spaces dominated and became as valuable as furniture. Less was more and decorating was about finding a design where form served function.

26th Philippine Chemistry Congress

It has been one year since I last attended the Philippine Chemistry Congress. I am not yet finished with my thesis but I had enough data to present. I told my supervisor my intentions of presenting in the congress and I was suprised to receive a copy-furnished email saying that we are delivering an oral […]

ACheS Chemistry Connections

Chemistry Connections is an inter-class competition for students of introductory collegiate chemistry classes. I have handled 4 batches, each with a different theme and a different event poster. However, only the last three materials survived because of a hard drive failure. The second installment was held in August 2007 and had a casino/gambling theme. It […]

Sisay

Sisay was one of the projects I worked on while I was studying in Heidelberg, Germany. I was tapped by a friend who’s working with Sisay to create a branding, logo and label design for a line of hair care products.

They also released a new product series, the BML Ultimate Whitening series. However, only BML Ultimate Whitening Soap with Glutathione have a finalized design—the rest are yet to be released.
