DESIGN VENTURES CEBU, INC. - Mandaue, Philippines

Two parts artist (freehand, starting with human figures and segueing into furniture), two parts accountant (pre- law, pre-selected by a father), two parts precociousness and adventure (one steadily raises the influence of the other), and three parts hard work (eight days a week, for as long as memory holds). Stir in a warm heart with lots of inspiration, and pair with a strong shot of GUS.
