Life After Breakfast PH is a creative studio that promotes everyday creativity through handmade art tools, creative workshops, and beautiful paper & printed products.
Founded in 2011, Life After Breakfast is Alessandra Lanot’s creative playground, where she documents her craft experiments, favorite tools, and creative process, all of which begin after her favorite (and the most important!) meal of the day.
Inspired by local culture, travel, and Philippine flora, Alessa’s design process begins with delicate watercolored illustrations. She collaborates with brands, and transforms her artworks into prints on paper, fabric, wallpaper, accessories and apparel.

With over 20 years of experience teaching art to adults and kids, Alessa has led more than 500 workshops in Manila, around the Philippines, and across the globe. Whether guiding complete beginners or seasons creatives, she believes in sharing the joy of creating through her workshops–helping students build confidence, connect with themselves, take a break from their everyday routines, and ground them into the present moment.
Passionate about art tools, Alessa handcrafts her own artist-grade watercolors and ceramic palettes, curating workshop kits that elevate the learning process. Her attention to detail and commitment to quality make every class a unique, hand-on exploration of both creativity and mindfulness.
LifeAfterBreakfast Handmade Art Tools are available online at the LAB Shop, and at Common Room Power Plant Mall & UP Town Center, and Roots Collective Uptown Mall & Ateneo Art Gallery Shop.
Alessa is also a creative consultant for DTI Go Lokal!, Design Center of the Philippines, and Go Negosyo. She teaches business workshops and mentors creatives, small business owners, local artisans, and organizations on how to professionalize their craft, and make a sustainable living as a creative. She teaches The Business of Design workshop series for the Design Center of the Philippines, and has recently launched the Creative Path business toolkit. Alessa is also the founder of Pipino, a Filipino vegan restaurant in Quezon City.
