    • Just wrapped up my watercolor workshop at @commonroomph Rockwell. Thanks to all my students today! ❤️ Book a seat for the next class: June 15 @hillsidecafeph where we’ll get to sketch in the garden 😊
    • Not a mock-up anymore!! Putting up my wallpaper at @pipinoveg 💚 Aaahhh so excited for my new wallpaper line, and of course, for Pipino’s re-opening! 😍 We’ve been renovating our resto for a few weeks now, and I’m so happy it’s almost done! Happy birthday to my little sister @aialibongco, who’s been working tirelessly on the resto’s construction!👷🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wallpaper #watercolorwallpaper #PatternLABph #wallpaperph #surfacepatterndesign
    • My pattern design for the Filipinas collection of Havaianas 🖤 Throwing back to this pair of flipflops I designed 4 years ago. This was a milestone project for me (for obvious reasons: Havaianas!!) but also because of a little secret about the design process: this was my first major project where the client DID NOT ask for any revisions AT ALL! I felt so grateful for their confidence in my work. I was also grateful for how all my past client work doing projects that weren’t really “me” (lol!) helped me figure out my own design process, and led me to this point. In this industry, knowing how to work with other people, especially clients, is so important. Having a proper portfolio will attract the work you enjoy doing. Figuring out your own work process will help the client know what to expect from you, and can help the design process flow better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m so excited to share what I’ve been developing with @makespacetoday: the CREATIVE CATALOG program, where I teach what other creatives ask me the most: Alessa, HOW MUCH SHOULD I CHARGE FOR MY WORK?😜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Through this program, members will also be able to have the opportunity to put their work in front of brands and companies, and open up channels for collaboration. Swipe to learn more about the program and visit makespacetoday.com to apply!

    • Ceramic palettes + Handmade watercolors in mini wooden boxes + LAB brushes & pencils = Special workshop kits for my Mother’s Day weekend workshop and GIVEAWAY! All my friends know that my Mom was Boss in the hotel industry. She led teams of powerful women who helped her execute her brilliant ideas. As a little girl, seeing her in action was so normal that it never made me doubt that I could do/be anything I wanted to be, too. She fueled my love for art supplies & learning, encouraged me to make crafts to give as gifts, and supported all my side handmade businesses (aside from saving me from the principal’s office every year bec of my kalokohan haha). She may not be an artist, but maybe that’s why I am—her personal taga-drawing/design/computerize, and her high standards were always mine to aim for. Until now, she allows me to do my art kalat in her house, hehe! I owe her this life of crafting! 💕 Share your Mom stories in the comments section below and get a chance to win a 2K GC for Mothers Day that can be redeemed at any @commonroomph branch. 2 winners will be announced morning of Mothers Day! I’ll also be picking another 2 winners of this SPECIAL HANDMADE WATERCOLOR SET! EDIT: Congrats to the winners: @louielegs and @sundamoon!😊 #MomMakesAHome #LABarttools #LABhandmadewatercolors
