THE STUDIO
THE STUDIO
Multo Sakalye is the studio's moniker rooted from '"multo sa kalye", a phrase in Tagalog which is the language of the Philippines. Although I was born in Los Angeles, I wanted to tap into my roots.
I named the studio Multo Sakalye because it’s a reminder that every brand begins as a ghost, unseen and unheard amid the noise. Through intentional design and sharp strategy, we give that ghost a body, a voice, and a presence.

THE DESIGNER
I was struck with the graphic design bug from an interesting angle. It started off with my experience as a leather craftsman. Being self-taught in product design, I created leather items such as wallets, belts, and other daily carry essentials. Alongside the crafting came the inevitable process of turning it into a brand I called Mojo Bazaar.
While leather crafting remains a skill and hobby I continue to enjoy, I discovered that it was the branding process that truly captured my passion. I began diving deep learning the fundamentals and disciplines of graphic design and built a portfolio that reflected this new focus. Eventually, I was designing logos and full brand identities for independent businesses and collectives.
I help small businesses evolve into impactful brands.
Meeting founders with sharp insight and real ambition who still struggle to show the world what makes them different is the norm. From my Los Angeles studio, I work one-on-one to turn raw visions into practical, cohesive identity systems that include logos, typography, color, and messaging that stay useful long after launch day.
Every project is hands-on and transparent. You speak directly with me, see clear timelines, and understand how each creative decision serves your goals. The result is a brand that feels true, looks consistent, and gives you the confidence to market, grow, and endure.
