Hello, I am Dustin, and I am a Filipino visual identity and graphic designer with a passion for design history. 
My focus is to always have a practical, functional, and long-lasting approach in logo and visual identity design solutions locally and internationally. 
With seven years of corporate design experience and six years of self-employment as of 2023, I've had the privilege to work on notable projects with clients such as CEMEX, FedEx, Workbean, the Philippine Basketball Association, and the 7107 International Music Festival.
In addition to my work on brand and visual identity projects and delivering occasional talks under my personal brand, I'm also onboarded as a visual brand strategist for Workbean.
Another aspect of my work is dedicated to creating educational content about local brand identity projects through I Saw Design, where my goal is to contribute to our local design history.
Furthermore, I currently hold the position of Vice President at the Communication Design Association of the Philippines (CDAP).
All of these achievements are by the grace of God alone.
