is a Manila-based multidisciplinary artist, illustrator, creative director, event organizer and DJ whose practice is one of world-building — conjuring whimsical, movement-driven universes rooted in his Filipino-Chinese heritage. Blending traditional and digital techniques influenced by ukiyo-e, calligraphy, art deco, and classic RPG aesthetics, his illustrations populate these worlds with androgynous figures caught mid-gesture: provocative, exuberant, always mid-flight.
Since going freelance in 2020, Jer has collaborated with prominent brands both local and international, alongside editorial commissions and gallery shows. Across every project, he returns to the same question: what would it feel like to step inside the worlds we imagine? For Jer, the answer is always a little brighter, a little more tender, and a little more alive than the one we were handed.
