I’ve made the UK’s Super Bowl Christmas ads, casted more armpits than I can count (global deodorant expert, basically), and even had work land in front of Anna Wintour.
Born just outside Manila, raised in the Midlands (England), now in San Francisco with my husband and our dog, Beefy. I’m also in the 2% of Filipinos who can’t sing but that didn’t stop me from auditioning for a K-pop girl group (an unfortunate ending). When I’m not making ads, I’m taking up a new hobby like rug making, cake decorating, and tennis. Two I’m great at, one I’m God awful. Guess which.
