PASSION PROJECTS

I am a proud Filipina-American artist and designer.  I enjoy raising awareness about my culture and heritage.  I believe in actively contributing to and furthering equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace and in our communities, particularly in our schools. 

I love to draw and often volunteer my illustration skills.

ILLUSTRATION

Mixed Media

I love to draw and have a small sketchbook in each bag and backpack I own, so I have a journal with me while I'm on the go.  You can find examples scattered throughout the Barakda(ko) blog or my Ardith the Ardith Instagram feed

BARKADA(KO)

Filipino-American T-shirt Collection + Blog

My sister, Arlene, and I started Barkada(ko), meaning "my posse or group of friends" in 2003 to express our Filipina pride.  While we have discontinued our original t-shirt collection, we continue to celebrate our heritage.
