Hello, Nori here!
Over the past year, I’ve been so deeply immersed in freelance work, traveling, hanging out with friends, and events that I forgot to work on my craft, but now I feel confident enough to begin a new passion project. I’m keeping the details under wraps for the moment; sometimes sharing too early makes it harder to finish, but I’m determined to see it through and share the final result with you.What matters most to me is reconnecting with my love for drawing and storytelling. I want to create art that not only expresses my ideas but also offers a space for people who feel stressed to pause, reflect, and find comfort in the present moment. My hope is to turn these projects into products you can enjoy, while building something meaningful along the way.

TRADITIONAL

I sometimes draw traditionally when I have the time, as it relaxes me in my stressful days doing client work. I use a scanner to scan my sketchbook and edit it in Lightroom. I'm currently using alcohol markers and ink to draw

DIGITAL

I’ve been passionate about drawing since childhood, which eventually led me to pursue a degree in Fine Arts, majoring in Advertising. I started creating digital art as early as 2010, and over the years, I’ve compiled all of my works. I’m in the process of reuploading them so everyone can explore and enjoy the journey

I'm incredibly grateful to each and every one of them for being so kind and supportive of my work. Commissioning others has been a truly fulfilling experience—it allows me the creative freedom to express myself through every detail I put into each piece. I'm also accepting commissions on VGen

KOOKIE

Kookie Creative Team (Discontinued)
This project proved to be quite challenging, as every character design had to be created using Adobe Illustrator. Given the time-intensive nature of the work, the client ultimately chose to end the collaboration after two months in favor of a faster turnaround. Since graphic design isn't my specialty, it was especially difficult for me to develop everything within such a short timeframe but it is a skill I'm willing to develop in the future

LITTLE MUSTARD SEED

Ngayong Pasko Animated Music Video - Little Mustard Seed (Complete)
This project was created entirely from scratch and completed independently. From developing the storyboard to designing characters, rigging, and animating, the process demanded substantial effort and dedication. It took a full year to bring the vision to life. Fortunately, my client was extremely pleased with the final outcome and even submitted it as an entry for the 47th Catholic Mass Media Awards in the Best Music Video category and won Best Music Video—Special Citation. 🏆

RETRO AESTHETIC 2022

RETRO AESTHETIC - Clothing Line (Discontinued)
It all began when my cousin launched her clothing store and asked me to design t-shirts for it. She commissioned five designs, but due to the high cost of production, only one was actually made into a shirt. While some of them sold, not all did—so I offered to help with the marketing side. I created a brand to promote the shirts, and that’s how Retro Aesthetic was born.The name came naturally: most of my designs were inspired by nostalgia, which is something I’ve always loved expressing through my art. I genuinely enjoyed marketing the shirts, and with the incredible support from my friends, we eventually sold out.I had planned to stop there, but my desire to keep creating didn’t fade. Since t-shirt production was too expensive, I pivoted to selling stickers and art prints, and started tabling at conventions. However, with limited time and no budget to push Retro Aesthetic further, I had to make the difficult decision to discontinue the project and let go of all the remaining prints.Still, my passion for art hasn’t gone anywhere. I’ve now launched an Etsy store under my artist name, where I have the creative freedom to make whatever I want—no longer confined to retro themes.
