my first album cover released on spotify was for “gotta know” by purples n’ oranges, an opm band from university of santo tomas. i got introduced to their vocalist, tom, through my ex — they initially asked for a logo, then came back asking if i could design the single cover.
it was during the pandemic, 2022, and i had never done a real cover art before. i just listened to the track on loop and tried to illustrate what it felt like. that one project led to another — they later asked me to design “break my heart again.”
looking back, it was a small start — but it made everything else feel possible.
in 2024, i designed a custom social media kit for yennybelles — a filipina voice actress and content creator based in canada. the kit included cohesive templates for posts and stories, built to reflect her warm, playful, and approachable brand.
