Graphic Designer

About Me

Hi, I’m Francis—a freelance graphic designer and photographer based in the Philippines.

In my early years, I worked with various local printing presses and large-format printing shops in our province, where I was responsible for creating designs for newsletters, yearbooks, brochures, business cards, logos, and other marketing materials. I primarily use Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator to bring my designs to life.

When my wife became a permanent senior high school teacher, I made the decision to pursue freelancing. This allowed me to balance my career while taking care of our children, as her teaching schedule runs from 8 AM to 5 PM. Alongside my freelance graphic design work, I also started my own photography business, specializing in product photography and designing menus and social media ads.

Three years ago, I expanded my skill set to include web design using Figma. As both a photographer and a designer, I have a keen eye for selecting the right images to enhance a design’s overall impact. My ability to merge high-quality visuals with strong design principles gives my work a unique and polished aesthetic.

I am a hardworking, persistent professional with a never-ending passion for learning and adapting to new design trends. With over a decade of experience in the industry, I recognize that there is always room for growth, and I continuously strive to refine my skills.

If given the opportunity to work with your company, I will dedicate my expertise and creativity to contributing to its success. I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with you.
