I am the founder and principal of EUDO. I am a passionate designer that loves to be surrounded by well-designed objects whether at the office or at home. I appreciate most chairs and lighting fixtures that firmly have its roots from pure modernist designs. These form part of our office collection and I see to it that these are utilised for its very function and not merely being looked at.
I see continuing education an important asset to my company. Despite having taken courses on industrial design at Domus Academy in Milan, interiors at Central St. Martins in London, I recently finished my post-graduate studies at Hong Kong Polytechnic University with Distinction for Master of Design (Design Strategies).
Never have I expected to write a book but it happened as a result of my capstone project for the masters program. I chose a topic that was close to my practice and our office design philosophy on creating authentic designs aptly titled Design Authenticity Matters in Philippine Architecture.

THIS IS US
We are a team of two lots. One in Makati and of course, our original home base in Cagayan de Oro. One in the north and one in the south so that makes it easy to reach us from either two offices of your choice. Most of the time, Makati sees as the base operations for the metropolitan and island projects while Cagayan de Oro focuses on Mindanao.
We are a young bunch. Or at least our team is making the average age in our office seems younger than ever. We feel young and passionate anyway and that is what counts in our office. That feeling of youth where we never tire from learning and our passion which drives us to creative solutions.
