Cara works with brands to ensure they thrive today and evolve for what’s next. With design experience across in-house teams, a design studio, and independent freelancing, she blends branding, product design, and strategy with creative direction to transform complex ideas into clear, memorable experiences digitally and in real life. 

​

Hands-on and curious, she finds that great work comes from nailing the details while keeping a sense of wonder. Based in Manila and working across time zones, she has years of experience collaborating remotely with global companies. She got her BFA in Graphic Design from California College of the Arts in San Francisco, before putting down roots in the Philippines.

​

She believes craft, imagination, and collaboration elevate a brand from mediocre to one with real impact and cultural significance.
