My name is JB Ablaza Macatulad and I love all things creative.

Originally from the Philippines, I moved to Rhode Island in 1988 for boarding school. I then proceeded to receive a BA in English Literature from Georgetown University in 1996, where I learned to fake a lot of diseases, wear baggy clothing and stare at the ceilings of abandoned warehouses wondering, “what the hell am i doing with my life?”

It was only when I found my way out to San Francisco did I realize that art & design was the only thing I really wanted to do. After receiving a BFA in Fine Art / Illustration from the Academy of Art in 2000, I worked as a web designer for thriveonline, the award-winning healthcare division of Oprah Winfrey’s high-profile website for women, oxygen.com.

Having relocated back to the Philippines in 2001, I’m now happily
married and working as a freelance designer while squeezing in a
few oil painting exhibits between projects. I love having the
freedom to do different types of art & design, so freelancing really
is the most ideal situation for me. If you have any art & design requirements, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thanks and I hope you enjoy my site.
