Kumusta? That's "how are you?" in Filipino, but not the "small talk" kind that you respond to with "good, thanks, how are you?" But the "tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly that happened to you since we last met" kind where we can laugh or cry together kind.
I'm Christer de Silva. Everyone calls me by a different name, even though my name is literally just two syllables. More on that here.
To put it simply, I care about making knowledge work by creating beautiful things. Whether it's science, experience, a business idea, or a dream, I want to share it with the world clearly, with a bit of colour, or in stunning fonts.
In business parlance... my design practice focuses on brand identity, visualisation, and editorial for research, education, small businesses, and nonprofits. I also work as a science engagement professional, creating science exhibits, experiences, and media at museums and science centres across Asia-Pacific.
But hey, I think you would rather see it in action, right?
Come in, take a look.
