Vanilla is a Manila-based designer and archivist specializing in branding, book design, and research. She maintains her independent practice while contributing to both local and international design studios.

The blend of her creative practice and educational background in Arts Management and Archive Studies lends a unique approach to her design thinking, often resulting in work that is a playful meeting of research, function, and feeling.

When she’s not working, she’s writing postcards to a community of mail lovers, running, or continuing research for her poster project Color Story and archival efforts for Women In Philippine Postage Stamps.

She holds a Master’s Degree in Archives and Records Management from University of the Philippines Diliman.
