Partner Testimonials
Hear about us from a few of our design friends.
Gino Carino
CEO at Makerspace Manila
“This event has given us another opportunity to share our framework. We were able to iterate our workshop further and make it even better. We were able to show our stakeholders a little more of our capabilities for future collaboration.”
Patricia Mendoza
General Manager at MATIC
“Since 2014, this would be the first time the Bamboo Workshops have been featured in Design Week Philippines. It helps to get the word out, and it’s always a great opportunity to see interest outside of Cebu.”
Mari Martirez
Head of Business Development at Brand New Design Studio
“I'm sure that the partnership not only opened up new networks and connections for us creators, as well as promoting existing works, but encouraged creators to try out this medium and find networks or starting points of their own.”
Alessa Lanot
Founder at LifeAfterBreakfast.ph
“Life After Breakfast is my personal online platform for documenting and sharing the creative work I do in my real life. Through my workshops and events, I’m able to create more opportunities for real-life connection and creativity.”
Yana Santiago
Vice Curator at Global Shapers
“Through the Design Week Philippines partnership, we were able to put Davao in the Philippine design and sustainability map, where there are thriving creative communities. We were able to recognize the different sustainable business models that uplift culture, craftsmanship, and dignity as well.”
Dang Sering
Communication Design Association of the Philippines
“Design Week Philippines allowed our field in communication design to connect to our audience (from students to professionals), amplify the role of graphic design in industry- and community-building, as well as participate in the much broader discussion of design within the platform of Design Week Philippines.”
Roma Agsunod
Roma Agsunod, Co-founder, Common Room
“Collaborating with Design Week Philippines is validation that the space is being recognised by authorities in the field as a creative hub. This stamp of approval is critical as we spread awareness about what Make Space Today is about and what it can offer to the creative scene in the Philippines.”
Emi Englis
Project Leader at Aritsanal Heritage Studies
“This partnership opened new opportunities, networks and platforms to magnify the vision and the work that we do in our hub. Very importantly, it deepened the awareness of the community on the impact of fashion, its benefits as well as challenges, for the current state of the circular economy locally and globally.”
