Rhea’s girlish telecommute voice belies an authority that commands the very gravity our office is built upon. Serious management skills, combined with PR and events management experience professionalize her mission-based outlook, and keep our clients entranced with her industry-wizened input. Rhea moves more on the client servicing side of our enterprise, chitchatting and conceptualizing campaigns. Little do the people she interact with know that she safeguards any creative’s dream collection of industrial power workshop tools. And apart from that, the wickedest of yoga moves.
Proclaimed by local media as our resident “environmentalist”, Berns challenges Angus McGyver’s ingenuity with the powers of her very own utility belt. Inspired by the caped crusader himself, Berns not only has the most awesome tools, her skillset boasts of bionic olfactory senses, wisdom and dexterity for toilet repair, and creating fine art sculptures with her pinkie and a pair of pliers. With her Idea!s cap on though, she masterfully tightropes the left and right sides of her brain, keeping our bookkeeping and papers in order, while maintaining her reign as head photographer, animator and actionscript goddess, and doing graphic design for print and web on the side.
Dang, as we fondly call her, has the unique distinction of having her name uttered by complete strangers in times of mirth or stress. Our resident Jungian psychology test-giver has confirmed that indeed, this office is run by gods and goddesses. Her office nook is soaked in whiffs of coffee and tea, R&B vibes, crafts-y patterns and doodles and scribblings in brightly colored pens. Dang writes, designs for print and web, has a thing for painting white paintings, organizes events and manages the production of all things audiovisual. She also has a crush on Edward Norton. Dang.
The official author of the “Girl Scout’s Guide to Camping at the Airport”, Marielle lives life on the edge by advocating the standby lifestyle while traveling. In doing so, she has mastered the art of subtly looking for electrical outlets and detecting free wifi. Part of her specialized skillset is a periodic lucky streak, which gains for her the spoils of cake raffles, iPod raffles, bingo grand prizes and pitching competitions. She hasn’t tried for the lottery lately. She writes, designs for print and web, crochets cotton flower bouquets, conjures harebrained ideas onto paper and brings people together (in a let’s-collaborate-on-something way). She also wears a lot of yellow.
Dan scans paper textures for fun. He also twists forks into bracelets for fun. Also for fun, he had his labrum pierced. That’s Dan, our resident badass. He’s so badass, he can’t stand sissy domestic felines. Even his body rejects shrimp by virtue of what they’re called. Only deep space science and nuclear pixel theory can hold his attention. And, maybe his students at the College of Fine Arts at the University of the Philippines. And his family and girlfriend (he’s so badass, his parents are both on Facebook). And maybe his dog Grul. As resident badass, he thinks things, and they magically conform to the golden mean of design, which he carries to web, print and directing moving images. He also holds two domains that carry the Philippines’ country code—Plus63 (dotcom and dotnet)—who else would give a hoot about our country code? Only Dan. Yeah, that’s what we said. Badass.
