It all begins with an idea.
Will admit that the line above is not mine, but SquareSpace’s placeholder text.
Left it in there because, isn’t it the truth?
Hi! I’m Issa. Filipino. Living in Singapore. PR, if you’re hiring from SG and are worried about foreigner quotas and whatnot. Married. Young-ish. Don’t want kids. Have a asshole cat and 3 guinea pigs. Actually a dog person, but my husband duped me into getting a cat instead. Really bad with money. Biiiiig fan of Shopee. Shopping there, not their ads. Have a stickerbook on my right forearm collecting doodles from friends. Stubborn. The kind who loves having the fan and aircon turned on at the same time. Hate the idea of phone calls. Love anything pink. To the point that I can’t tell whether I genuinely like something, or like it only because it’s pink. Was my dream to become the first Oscar-winning female film director, but Kathryn Bigelow beat me to it (and for a movie that isn’t THAT great imo. Fight me). Current pet peeve: not being able to adjust the line breaking on this page because Squarespace likes being difficult.
Wanted to study film at NTU ADM, but they rejected me. Scrambled to apply to LASALLE before applications closed and only had a design portfolio ready. Got accepted, studied Design Communication specialising in Advertising and now I’m a Creative Group Head at GOODSTUPH, but editing trailers and other videos for Netflix full time. Holler if you wanna find out what happened before, in between, after and beyond.
