👋🏼 Hi, I’m Von! Currently, I'm a communications and digital organizer for the FMTK Central Labor Council, striving to empower community members and unions through collective education and action.
I’ve contributed to design projects for Fresnoland, Central Valley Partnership, Valley Forward, The Modesto Focus, The Merced Focus and The Objective.
I'm a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo alum. 🐎 On campus, I was an Advertising Design Manager at Mustang Media Group and an Editorial Graphic Designer for Mustang News. I also designed for Cal Poly’s Campus Health and Wellbeing and contributed to web, media and marketing for the Pilipino Cultural Exchange as well as Students for Quality Education.
I got my start in multimedia design through Sanger High’s Digital Arts and Media pathway and Reedley College's Upward Bound program.
When I'm not fine-tuning an Illustrator file, you can find me binge-watching Hacks or jamming out to Olivia Rodrigo and Doechii.
