Hey, there!
I am ----------- ----------- "Cands" Guese -----------, and I was born and raised in the Rodeo Capital of the Philippines, Masbate. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Media Studies at the University of the Philippines Visayas as Magna Cum Laude. Our degree program has four (4) streams, namely advertising, journalism, broadcasting, and film; however, I am deeply interested in the first three (3) streams mentioned.
More than that, I have been working as a Freelance Graphic Designer since 2018. Since then, I have been able to collaborate and work with some of the country’s popular Wattpad authors where I designed the book covers of some of both their self-published and traditionally published books. I also design other print and digital media collaterals, including infographics, posters, brochures, magazines, newspapers, and others. Besides that, I am also actively involved in different organizations, both inside and outside the university.
Being in the field of communication and media studies has helped enhance and hone my overall skills and knowledge, particularly in properly addressing different issues and creating effective and innovative solutions to them, paying attention to all details, and establishing good time management habits. Overall, my experiences have majorly improved my communication skills which enabled me to build strong connections and rapport to easily collaborate with other individuals and sectoral groups in creating a safe space (work) environment.
