Hello, I am Dustin, a communication designer from Imus who designs with durability and consideration in mind.
My focus is to always have a practical and functional approach to business problems, creating brands that set the standard for durable consideration.
With 16 years of combined corporate and independent experience, I have had the privilege of establishing visual standards for brands both locally and internationally, including CEMEX, FedEx, the Philippine Basketball Association, and the 7107 International Music Festival.
Aside from my independent practice, I also currently serve as the Creative Director for Workbean, an employer branding agency. My industry commitment extends to my roles as President of the Communication Design Association of the Philippines (CDAP) and as the creator of I Saw. Design, an educational platform dedicated to documenting and contributing to our local design history.
For design work, email me at hello@dustincarbonera.com.
