Hello! I'm Sam (she/her) š³ļøāš Welcome to my tiny space in the vast internet!
I'm from Metro Manila, Philippines. I am many things: a digital designer, artist, kendoka, motorcyclist, community-builder, furmom to 3 cats: Soju, Fray, and Stelle.
You can visit my now page for updates on what I'm currently doing!
Iām always randomly creating something: art, video content, sharing TILs, music, keyboards, stories, relationships, and digital products all from my little corner in Pasig, Philippines.
Iām a community builder, having founded/co-founded several tech communities such as Tambayan404 and ManilaCSS (currently on hiatus), and helping expand the Kendo (martial arts) community in Metro Manila by contributing to Metro Kendo Club as their social media manager.
