ELCOME O MY POR FOLIO
Hey there! I'm Cath, a creative and dedicated 23-year old girl with a passion for arts and exposure to diverse influences. I recently graduated with a BA in Multimedia Arts, specializing in graphics. As I've worked on a diverse range of projects as a freelance graphic designer and photographer, I believe in the aesthetics and functionality of visuals in communicating a story to viewers.
Here, you may view a curated selection of past work.

HABI NG MINDANAO — Brand Identity of South Cotabato with T'nalak as central theme
Brand Identity, Product Design
Awarded Best Thesis last April 2024 and was Shortlisted for Good Design Award 2024 - Image-Making Category in the same month. My thesis is about exploring the design and cultural concepts found in the Tnalak (a textile only made by the T'boli tribe) and incorporating my findings into visual elements for branding for South Cotabato. I interviewed the Tourism Senior Officer of South Cotabato and 10 weavers or "Dreamweaver" from the T'boli tribe in creating the outputs.

CINEMAPUA 2021 — Mapua University's Film Festival
Creative Direction, Graphic Design
As the former Creative Head (2021) of the organization: Film Arts and Media Enthusiasts (Mapua-FAME), I led the creative direction of the yearly-hosted Cinemapua, a student short film festival in Mapua University. 80s psychedelia and neon lights inspired the visuals but with a 21st-century touch, especially since it was the first virtual film festival of the organization since the pandemic started.

.MOVE GRAPHICS — Graphics for .MOVE's Social Media Pages
Graphic Design, Creative Direction
This is a curated selection of my works for .MOVE ("dot move"), an animation and media coverage organization at Mapua University, as a former Graphics committee staffer, Treasurer, then President. As former President, I rebranded the creative direction of the org by inputting another secondary color (aside from the original bnw concept) in graphic assets, moving to a more futuristic concept with a mix of brutalism and abstract tech.
BELIEVE DESIGN CAN BE AN ART AND TOOL AT THE SAME TIME.
