MARIEL EMPIT
I'm a Filipino illustrator, designer, and art director.
My colorful illustrative work is reflective of the wonder & humor that I go about with in the world. I'm passionate about design for social good - grounded on community, inclusivity, & sustainability (I know that seems like a buzzword thing designers say, but really, I do).
In 2015, after graduating with honors on a full-tuition scholarship in a Multimedia Arts degree at the De La Salle-College of St. Benilde, I pursued an Art Director position at one of Manila's biggest advertising agencies. In 2019 - after almost four fruitful years in an agency, I've decided to go freelance.
