About Me
I was born in the Philippines to Filipino parents but was brought to Japan after being a couple months old. From there, I was raised in Japan for majority of my life. My parents enrolled me into an international school from kindergarten exposing me to a multicultural background, also known as a third culture kid.
I developed my love for fashion during my junior year of high school when my former art teacher asked us what we wanted to focus on in art class. He gave us a list consisting of different creative careers like a graphic designer, fashion designer, animation, illustration, and more. From there, my interest in fashion continued to grow, and eventually turned into a topic I am passionate about.
