I work as a campaign management associate for an advertising agency in Taguig [a highly urbanised city in Metro Manila, officially known as the National Capital Region of the Philippines — editor’s note].
For the past four years, I’ve been helping them to create and deliver ads on streaming video services and internet-connected TV platforms.

Hobbies-wise, I grew up when Pokémon was born, so playing video games casually and watching superhero movies is my thing.
The pandemic multiplied my passion for tech and taught me how to build PCs. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this.
Also, I’m fond of design.
I actually used to be a freelance motion and UI designer for two years before landing a job in Taguig.
The lack of social interaction in my work days back then made me look for new opportunities and explore what else was available besides what I already enjoyed.

My room doesn’t have enough space to accommodate my desk setup, so I had to build it in a little corner of my living room.
Since I work at night, I’ve designed my workspace to be comfortable and look peaceful while maintaining the gaming aesthetic.
It was the first PC I built and it took me a year and a half to fill my desk with work-from-home essentials.
Due to the overlapping structure between the residences, my apartment doesn’t get much natural light. That means I had to carefully consider the planning of the lighting in my workspace.

If there was anything I could improve, my only wish would be to move to a bigger apartment where I could have more space.
Also, my current apartment has a lot of white space on the walls, so I’m planning to fill them with some wall décor.
