Born in the vibrant and chaotic Quezon City, Philippines, in the summer of '98, Gabriel later found himself growing up in a quiet and lonely suburb somewhere in Austin, Texas. His love for design started early, creating banners, posters, and everything in between for the YouTube channels he and his friends ran—where their gaming montages might reach 53 views if they were lucky. What began as a simple interest grew into a deep passion as he explored the various meanings, styles, and purposes of design. For Gabriel, design and creation are deeply intimate; through his work, he reveals parts of himself that he often keeps hidden. Little by little, you can get to know him through what he creates.

Away from keyboard, Gabriel finds solace in plant care, cooking, music, old scotches and tequilas, working out, and coffee shop hopping.
