Spring/Summer 2024 Supper event hosted with Anthony Manaloto Trabasas in my Brooklyn home, design and creative direction by me.

Rooted from a spontaneous idea to collaborate with the intention to play, to gather, and to test new ideas from both culinary and design perspective.

The menu didn’t adhere to one specific cuisine but instead combined new techniques with nostalgia. One conversation soon blossomed into endless possibilities for collaboration.




Some recent riso prints (fall 2023)







I find myself being inspired by nature more and more. It is constant, quiet, and loud at the same time.  

The Only Place (2021)

a visual archive of love, gratitude, and nostalgia that explores the notion of "home". Simply an ode to my parents.
140mm x 203mm, 16 pages. Risograph, laser, and inkjet printing.
