Seven Questions
How did you get your first break in the industry?
After graduation, I tried applying for a graphic design position at a large food manufacturer here in Manila. My mom and dad would tell me that it was okay to give it a try for the experience. But after getting an offer, I declined.
I guess I kind of knew that working under one brand would mean that I would get the same job orders over and over. The thought scared me, to be honest.
So, I waited, tried exploring art, and researched for art director positions instead. I enjoyed ad practice classes in college anyway, and at least I was aware that every job would be different. On my sixth month of being unemployed, I stumbled on a brief that would get me into a creative workshop in BBDO. I submitted an idea and got in.
