About

Hello, I'm Aloha. If you're wondering: yes, that is my real name. I'm a motion graphics producer with over 4 years of experience editing, animating, writing, and filming. 

 

I'm a queer Filipino-American designer (pronouns: they/them) based in the Washington, D.C. area. My work is fueled by a desire to uplift marginalized voices, especially those within LGBTQ+ and Asian-American communities. I've worked in politics both in-house and freelance for years, with my work shared by the likes of President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and more. I'm a graduate of MIHI x A24's Beyond the Screen program, and my college documentary work has won several awards. 

 

My curiosity for the creative strays beyond design—on weekends, catch me knitting, drawing comics, molding poorly made clay Totoros, and listening to Dungeons & Dragons podcasts. â€‹

​

Oh, and my drink of choice: a nice Jasmine green tea, milk foam and matcha on top, 0% sugar. What's yours?
