Selected writing samples
Outside of instructional design, my work as a writer spans various media. I've written travel and lifestyle articles, SEO and blog content, film scripts, fiction, white papers, marketing copy, and other branded content.
​
Today, I write Bridgerton and Ranma fanfiction as a form of self-care.
​
Feel free to explore some of my work below.
Travel - Asian Dragon
Rothenburg: A Fairytale Respite from Modern Life
Rothenburg is charm materialized in hand-painted street signs and vines hanging out of windows. Every street is lined with beautiful, small buildings painted in pastel shades so well curated they’re anything but gauche.
​
Video - Disinformation Education Campaign
Ang Truth Ayon Kay Tessie
I scripted a five-episode video series for the non-profit organization Pagasa. Rather than a fact-giving campaign, this series aimed to inspire discourse and self-reflection. For this purpose, I designed a relatable character who, despite her likability, is still susceptible to disinformation.
​
Fintech - Press Release
GCash exec lauds BSP, finds fertile
ground in PH for fintech developments
I attended an event and wrote a press release for GCash, one of the Philippines' biggest fintech brands. This article was published in a local newspaper.
​
Website copy - real estate
RE/MAX Valor
I helped launch a RE/MAX franchise based in Manila, establishing its digital presence at the time, including creating its website. I wrote all the copy on this website (now defunct).
​
Fiction - horror/romance
Deirdre: A Ghostly Romance
“You know you’re not, Joel.” She appeared before him, hovering above the table, legs folded beneath her thighs. “I’ve been dead fifteen years, and I’m not sure why, but what if... what if I was just waiting for you? What if they left me here, so I could help you?”
