EVERY DAY
I am in love with Humans. A passionate and visual storyteller. A memory keeper. I'm a roller coaster of emotions. Daily practicing courage and vulnerability.
An endless work in progress.
Behind the camera
A Filipina & Italian Creative dancing in between Photography, Design & Storytelling
My story starts with a camera on hand and a daily gratitude journal. I'm on a journey to create my most intentional life around purposeful projects around the world.
I'm a multidisciplinary and passionate Creative soul, and my expertise are rooted in two main fields:
After 7+ years of experience in the Design field working for international consultancies, agencies and banks, I'm currently freelancing as a Photographer and Designer following projects that light up my soul.
Visual Storyteller
I haven't been seen around without my camera. As a way to express myself and speak open-heartedly through my photos, I hope to inspire you through the way I see Life.
I'm one of the founders of Forever & A Day, a collective of creatives focused on Weddings and life-moments documentation. I work as an independent photographer and content creator for agencies and brands creating visual stories of all kinds everywhere.
This is where I tell you how I make things happen.
I don't have a magic formula but in my experience, I've been eager to fuel my passion and intention in solving people and business challenges. From stepping back, understanding, and mapping the bigger picture, to take into consideration every aspects and element that will be impacted. I love connecting the dots and conducting in-depth user research to identify relevant and true human needs. Most of the time, I wear multiple hats and observe problems from different perspectives: from being a Strategic and Service Designer to a Product and UX Designer, experimenting, testing, iterating concepts and user-centered solutions.
As a photographer, I truly find inspiration by observing every day's Life, capturing light and emotions in all forms and manifestations. Thorughrough the years, photography has been a deep part of who I am, helping me to find my own voice and tell stories. People, place,s and moments that crossed my path leaving me with a piece of eternity in a shot.
"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."
