Brian's journey into the world of art began in the Philippines, where he was immersed in creativity from an early age. As a child, he eagerly explored art workshops, diving into animation and printmaking at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila (Met), fueling his passion for visual storytelling.

His artistic adventure led him to the University of the Philippines, Diliman, where he pursued a BA in Industrial Design. His talent and dedication earned him the prestigious Pitoy Moreno Scholarship, and in 2002, he claimed the "Best Thesis for Industrial Design" award—a sign of bigger things to come.

That same year, he stepped into the professional world as a graphic designer at Philippine Enterprise. His skills quickly caught attention, propelling him to the role of Art Director in no time.

But Brian wasn’t one to stay in one place for long. In 2004, he took a leap into the dynamic world of freelancing, embracing the thrill of working across industries. His artistic talents found their way into projects for major brands like 3M Philippines, Oishi, Haribon Foundation, ABS-CBN Publishing, Campaigns & Grey, the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Fujitsu Philippines, and global advertising giants like J. Walter Thompson and Leo Burnett. His work spanned from corporate branding to magazine illustrations, from government initiatives to entertainment projects, leaving his mark on each.

In 2008, he joined the powerhouse newsroom of ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol, where he brought stories to life as an illustrator and graphic designer. But his creativity knew no bounds—soon, he was crafting motion graphics, designing touchscreen UI/UX, and shaping the visual language of on-air graphics templates. His artistry expanded to shows like Bandila, Umagang Kay Ganda, and Salamat Dok, making him an essential force in television design.

Even with a full-time role, Brian couldn’t resist the call of new challenges. Between 2008 and 2019, he took on freelance projects for both local and international clients. His illustrations and designs found their way into Total Girl Australia, National Geographic, Men's Health Australia, and FHM Australia, showcasing his ability to captivate audiences across the globe.

Then, in 2019, Brian embarked on his boldest adventure yet—moving to Toronto, Canada. There, he stepped into the ever-evolving realms of Web3 and gaming, pushing creative boundaries and redefining digital experiences.

From Manila’s art studios to the global stage, Brian’s artistic journey is one of passion, evolution, and fearless creativity. And the adventure? It’s far from over.
