I am currently working in our family business as a designer for Women's Wear. We supply to all SM Malls, Department Stores in the Philippines. My brother is a famous Filipino Fashion Designer and has done several fashion shows in Manila and was the closing show from the previous season of Philippine Fashion Week. My goal is to be part of PhFW and to expand the family business internationally.
I am motivated to be better, to be unique and to make a name of my own. From intricate beading and dramatic floral embellished gowns/dresses to flirty lace and crepe ready-to-wears, a perfect designer for women who are powerful and beautiful. Women who are not afraid to be different and creative. I am flexible and a perfectionist on my design ideas but I make sure my statement on intricate details and my signature black and white gowns still screams my name.
