Hi! I’m Jill, a Filipina full-time artist & illustrator 🤡
In 2017, I graduated with a BFA degree in Information Design and began my career as a graphic designer in several local agencies. After two years, I finally chose to pursue art and illustration as a full-time career and completed a residency in Illustration & Visual Storytelling at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
Turning to everyday life—whether it be the 7 AM rush hour or a simple merienda—my body of work aims to transform the mundane into comical and lighthearted spectacles that relate to the viewer.
I welcome a variety of mediums including—but not limited to— apparels, books, ceramics, cover artworks, editorials and walls.
