Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself
Hello, I’m Enzo, an aspiring 20-year-old graphic designer and multimedia arts student from the Philippines.
As an art student focused on creative projects, my hobbies closely align with my studies.
I also draw, paint, bake, and create more graphic design projects in my free time!
I also add gaming to the mix. I usually play games like Pokemon, The Sims, Valorant, and some childhood games on my DSi/3DS.
I have been a big K-pop fan since 2018, and my favourite group is Red Velvet. I love listening to their music while studying or working at home.
Before pursuing multimedia arts, I’d always wanted to study fine arts because I loved to draw and paint portraits or landscapes traditionally.
I also considered becoming an English major because I was interested in writing and teaching.
However, I believe that pursuing multimedia arts was one of the best decisions I’ve made because it helped me discover a lot more about the different mediums of art and how they can be applied universally.
Ever since then, I’ve been a very creative and meticulous kid. I guess I still have those traits and continue to nurture them to this day.
I really love the idea of creating or designing from scratch, most especially the idea of DIY (do-it-yourself) projects because, with these things, I get to have a blank canvas to express my ideas and let my creativity flow.
I believe this is also why I have such a curated workspace that reflects my personality and hobbies.
I currently have a graphic design account on Instagram and Behance, where I post my personal works and commissions. (By the way, commissions are open!)

One of the key features of my workspace is the consistent white and brown colour palette.
From the table to the accessories, everything is coloured in shades of white or brown.
My inspiration for this colour combination is my personality and my interests.
People tell me that I exude a “warm” aura and that I am a very warm person (figuratively and literally, lol).
My workspace has gone through major upgrades, such as moving it to a larger table, getting a bigger monitor, and getting a new mount for it.
