It's nice to e-meet you.
I'm Cara.
Profile
I am a creative + marketing chameleon with work experience in freelance and start-up companies. Currently I am working as a creative at Canva, and co-manage Guppy Apparel PH. I have always been passionate about design, and have since pursued it professionally. I graduated from ADMU with a degree in BS Communications Management & Technology, with a minor in Enterprise Development — which has equipped me with a versatile skillset in business and design.
​
I am comfortable with the start-up culture and can easily adapt to wearing many hats. This stems from my past experience of working with a Singapore based luxury travel start-up company, managing the creative and marketing efforts of local restaurant concepts under Shoreditch Food Inc., being a co-owner of a clothing brand Guppy, and working as a creative freelancer. I value teamwork and am always willing to apply my wide skillset.
I am driven and passionate about my work, and aspire to one day be a Creative Lead or Art Director (in the near future? Fingers crossed).
