Description

Hi, I am Leona! A US-raised Creative Director who’s currently living the (slow-paced) dream here in the Philippines! I’m a massive art fanatic. It’s my job, my passion, and it’s literally all over me, thanks to a giant back tattoo and the growing collection all over me. While I love traveling and discovering new cultures AND FOOD, my core identity is that of a happy introvert. I get a huge buzz from exploring new places, but I also need my time to recharge my social battery.

I spend most of my time doing a wild mix of activities. You’ll find me sketching or painting, getting completely lost in a book, fixing up a recipe I found online, or doing my daily workout.

My taste in entertainment is just as eclectic. My playlist is a total rollercoaster that will jump from American pop to the heaviest metal and all kinds of foreign music. And when it comes to screen time, I’m either geeking out on a fascinating documentary or deliberately scaring myself with some horror movie!

It's all about that perfect balance for me. When I finally do decide to venture out, I’m not exactly climbing mountains. You’ll usually just find me grabbing my camera and phone for a chill photo walk, which is really just my fun excuse to "go out and touch some grass" and grab some local snacks while still indulging my creative side. It’s the perfect compromise for an art-loving introvert!

I'm looking forward to meeting you~

More details about your skills

My professional background is as a Creative Director, so I’m tech-savvy and come with a full set of digital skills. I have strong expertise in digital art, video editing, and writing (for blogs, social media, websites, etc.). I can also do some coding and am always happy to help with any computer or design-related tasks. On the more traditional side, I’m also an artist who loves to draw and paint, so if you have any creative project, I'd be thrilled to help!

Beyond my creative work, I’m very comfortable and happy to contribute to daily life. I genuinely love to cook and would be happy to help with meal prep or share some recipes. I’m also one of those rare people who actually likes grocery shopping and running errands, so I can definitely take that off your plate.

Finally, I’m a huge animal lover (and a pet owner), so I’m more than happy to help with any pets, from walks to feeding. Above all, I truly love learning new things. I’m a quick study, adaptable, and excited to jump in and contribute wherever I'm needed most!

I am also a single mom to a beautiful and smart 8-year-old boy. I have a Persian cat, Bogart, and a Dachshund named Mariko. I am an anime and kpop fan!
I believe that love and beauty are all over us; we just have to connect to people and nature.
