BIO

John is a Filipino-Canadian graphic and motion designer based in Calgary, Alberta, but originally from Edmonton. He’s currently a Graphic Designer at TBWA\Canada (formerly DDB Canada via merge). His work and contributions have been recognized provincially at the ACE Awards and Anvil Awards, and nationally by Applied Arts, Marketing Awards, and The ONE Show.

John is a creative at heart. He began creating skateboarding videos in high school, which ultimately led to his career in design. His background in the customer service industry as a teen led to his calm and analytical demeanour to any business problem brought forward within the design and advertising industry.

He is also an Associate RGD. Since his university years, John developed a passion for mentoring and helping any design students seeking advice, despite still being mistaken as a student from time to time.
