Hi I’m

A Multidisciplinary Designer,

Brand Strategist &

Creative Educator

Since 2016, I’ve worked at the intersection of design, strategy, and storytelling, crafting brand systems, visuals, and experiences that empower, connect, and inspire. Rooted in education, community care, and art, I bring heart and clarity to every project, from visual identities and campaigns to curriculum design and creative mentorship.

I help mission-driven teams turn big ideas into design that feels like home and functions like a dream.

Wherever you land, everything is made to feel intentional, vibrant, and fully you.

I'm JJ Typography (she/her) – a Multidisciplinary Designer, Brand Strategist & Creative Educator specializing in bold visual storytelling that centers wellness, culture, and community impact.

As a third-generation Filipina American 🇵🇭 born and raised on Kumeyaay Land (San Diego, CA), my work is shaped by my family’s artistic legacy, my deep appreciation for California street art, and my experiences on Ohlone Land (San Francisco, CA) studying and teaching Ethnic Studies.

I’m the co-founder of The Art of Becoming LLC and co-author and illustrator of The Art of Becoming: Self-Loving coloring workbook. I specialize in typography, illustration, and user-centered design—collaborating with nonprofits, grassroots organizations, and mission-driven teams to create impactful visuals that inspire change and amplify voices.

Currently, I’m focused on building thoughtful brand systems, design strategy tools, and creative content for clients that care deeply about wellness, education, and social impact.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me exploring coffee shops, soaking up nature, or diving into my next creative experiment.
