😊Virtually creating spaces that enhance your well-being
👍 open for collaborations/ projects

I graduated from the University of Santo Tomas, and worked at both design and construction firms. 🐅

However, due to the unforeseen circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was forced to transition to a work-from-home job. Ultimately, I’ve actually come to enjoy the unique challenges and freedom that come with self-employment. 👩‍💻

My freelance journey started in websites such as Fiverr and Upwor

k, and I’ve since expanded my reach beyond these platforms. Over the years of tweaking my online profile and gigs, I have come to realize the necessity of making the architectural design process easily understandable to clients. 😊Because the reality is, especially in the Philippines, most clients are hesitant to reach out to Architects. There are many reasons behind this, but one of my goals for this page is to be part of the Filipino architectural community that wants to dispel myths and make architecture more accessible to the general public. 👍🏽

Setting up a personal architectural services page has been on my mind for quite some time now, and I’m thrilled to finally take this leap and bring my ideas to reality. 🙏

To all my clients that I have worked with in these past years, thank you for the trust in my creative endeavors. And if you are still here reading, thank you too!! 💚I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to discuss your architectural needs. All the best,

Most people only see the final floor plan…
not the many versions before it. 😅

Turning a 2-bedroom unit into 3 bedrooms means testing layouts, moving walls (on paper), and figuring out what actually works for your lifestyle.

Good design isn’t a one-shot sketch, it’s a process.
And that’s where an architect makes the difference. 📐✨

Message me if you’re planning to rework your space.😉

✅ Built-in minimalism – Integrated shelves feel refined and intentional.
✅ Add contrast – A bold piece against neutrals creates depth.
✅ Architectural canvas – Neutral walls and flooring provide balance and let décor stand out.
✅ Big windows – Maximize the rich colors outside

Good design isn’t just about furniture. It’s about how all the layers work together.

Ever heard of 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙧 𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜? 🌈
It’s a bold interior design technique where you paint the walls, doors, cabinetry, and even the ceiling in the same color. The result is a seamless, dramatic, and cohesive look that can completely transform the vibe of a space.

For this snug room, my client chose a deep blue hue. By carrying this color across every surface, the space instantly feels cozy, intimate, and inviting. 💙

Color drenching works especially well in smaller rooms where you want to enhance comfort and atmosphere. Instead of breaking up the room with multiple finishes, this approach creates flow, depth, and a touch of drama.

👉 Feeling adventurous and want to try this in your own home? Send me your project details and let’s explore how color drenching can elevate your space. ✨

Beige gets a bad rep online as “sad beige.”
But the truth is… beige is timeless. ✨
It creates calm, balance, and warmth. It’s a backdrop that never fights with the rest of your space.

And when you feel like adding personality? A bold accent color can transform the same room instantly.

At the end of the day, it’s not about sad or happy interiors. It’s about designing spaces that reflect you. 🌿

✨ 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 ✨

When we think of kitchen colors, many of us immediately picture white or beige. They’re clean, timeless, and safe choices—and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.

But sometimes, adding a bit of color can completely change the atmosphere of a space. In this project, we introduced warm terracotta tones, paired with wood and stone textures. The result? A kitchen that feels inviting, grounded, and full of character—without being overwhelming.

Terracotta is one of those colors that connects us to nature. It evokes warmth, comfort, and timeless charm, almost like bringing a touch of Mediterranean sun into your home. 🌿

Still, design is personal. If neutrals make you happiest, that’s perfectly okay too. At the end of the day, your space should reflect you.

👉 Would you go for earthy colors like terracotta, or keep it classic with white and beige?

You don’t need a huge space—or a huge budget—to achieve a Scandinavian-inspired design.

For this project, we used simple IKEA staples (from the chairs to the lighting) to create a clean, cozy, and functional kitchen. The best part? The atmosphere transforms beautifully throughout the day:

☀️ Morning – bright and fresh
🌤️ Afternoon – calm and relaxed
🌙 Evening – warm and inviting

This is what Scandinavian design is all about: simplicity, light, and function. Even in a compact space, you can create a home that feels welcoming and stylish. 🌿

“𝙃𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙩.” ❌
That’s one of the biggest myths I hear—here’s why it’s not true.

One of my clients was about to rent a new apartment. His main concern was simple:
“Will my existing furniture even fit?” 🛋️

To help him decide, I created 3 test fit layouts:
1️⃣ Good
2️⃣ Better
3️⃣ Best → with great flow, functionality, and no compromises 🏆

Because of these test fit plans, he realized which layout truly worked for him.
✨ The result? He avoided renting the wrong apartment—saving time, money, and stress before moving in.

👉 Hiring an architect isn’t just a cost.
It’s an investment in making the right decisions.

A client recently asked me to design their coffee shop in Bali. Their mood board was full of wood and concrete—materials we often see in cafés today. At first, I wondered if it might feel too common. But they wanted a space that blended with the neighborhood while still having its own character.

That’s the challenge I love about architecture and interiors: even with familiar elements, the final design can still feel one-of-a-kind—just like every cup of coffee.

✨ Would you ever design a bathroom with no windows… and make it dark on purpose?

That was the bold vision my client brought to me — complete with hand-drawn sketches and inspiration images. Together, we transformed this into a serene, spa-like retreat with rough concrete textures, warm wood, and striking black fixtures.

It’s not the usual bright-and-airy bathroom you see everywhere, but that’s the beauty of design: it doesn’t need to be everyone’s cup of tea, just yours. And in this case? We both loved the outcome.

Sometimes, the best spaces are born when you take the “unpopular” route and trust your instincts. 🖤

Small space? ✨ Go for floating furniture.
It opens up floor area and instantly makes a room feel bigger.

In this 25sqm condo, we used a Japanese-style floating bed + floating desk — simple, functional, and airy.
What’s your go-to small space trick?
