BIO

John is a Filipino-Canadian graphic and motion designer based in Edmonton. He’s currently a Graphic Designer at DDB Canada. His background in the customer service industry as a teen led to his calm and analytical demeanour to any business problem brought forward within the design and advertising industry.

John is also a creative at heart. He began creating skateboarding videos in high school, which ultimately led to his career in design. His work and contributions have been recognized provincially at the ACE Awards and Anvil Awards, and nationally by Applied Arts, Marketing Awards, and The ONE Show.

He is also a Creative Partner at Studio 5341, a Provisional RGD, and a long-time member of the Karilagan Dance Society. Since his university years, John developed a passion for mentoring and helping any design students seeking advice, despite still being mistaken as a student from time to time.
