Hey, I’m Kobe! When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me out exploring hiking through scenic trails, discovering new spots, or just taking in the beauty of nature.
I also love photography, capturing little moments that tell a story, whether it’s a stunning landscape or the small details we often overlook. Being out in the world fuels my creativity, and I try to bring that same sense of curiosity and wonder into my designs.
Anime has always been a huge creative influence for me. The way it blends emotion, visual style, and storytelling pushes me to think differently about motion, pacing, and design.
For a motion graphics assignment, I created a short intro inspired by Jujutsu Kaisen a personal project that let me bring my love for anime into my design practice.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from AMA Computer College in the Philippines. My career journey has taken me through different fields, each shaping my skills and perspective.
As a Robotics Lab Assistant at San Beda College, I worked closely with students to help them troubleshoot projects and building LEGO robots which sparked my interest in hands on problem-solving.
Later, as a Social Media Manager at Jeikobu, I manage ad campaigns and designed graphics, which deepened my passion for visual storytelling and connecting with people through design.
This photo shows a big part of how I work brainstorming, sketching, and figuring things out as I go. For me, integrity means being honest about where I’m at and taking responsibility for what I create.
I don’t shy away from mistakes. I learn from them and use them to get better. It’s not always perfect, but I stay committed to growing and doing my best, one step at a time.
I find creativity in moments, especially with others. This photo was taken while my friend and I were out discovering the city. Experiences like this remind me of the importance of staying curious.
Whether I’m learning something new, working on a project, or just observing the world around me, I always try to keep an open mind. Exploring with others often leads to fresh ideas and helps me grow as a designer. It’s these small, shared moments that inspire me to keep pushing creative boundaries.
Collaboration often manifests through shared learning experiences. During a class session, I engaged in independent work while attentively following instructions, observing demonstrations, and applying feedback in real time.
This experience reaffirmed that collaboration extends beyond group-based tasks; it encompasses a willingness to receive guidance, actively listen, and grow alongside others.
I value environments where knowledge is openly exchanged, diverse perspectives are respected, and collective growth is encouraged. To me, collaboration is about working toward a common objective while supporting and learning from those around me.
