ABOUT

I'm Cris and like to make things. I'm a Filipino-American Art Director / Designer, husband, UCLA Athletics Alumni, and 13-time marathon runner living in Los Angeles, CA. I consider myself multidisciplinary because of my ability to come up with creative solutions in different ways. I have a curious mind and always learning new tools that I can turn to when the time is right and a project calls for it. My work history spans across sports, entertainment—and most recently—health and wellness. Currently, I'm looking for the next step in my career. As someone with a sports background, I often come back to a quote by Phil Knight: "What if there were a way, without being an athlete, to feel what athletes feel? To play all the time, instead of working? Or else to enjoy work so much that it becomes essentially the same thing."
