Prior to joining the firm, she gained some experience working on retail projects such as Van Heusen and Arrow.
She passed the licensure exam in 2016 after taking her internship at Larawan Ink.
Whilst believing that it is an architect's duty to create timeless design, Alei's design style has been described as bright and colorful while working under the firm. A fashionista and a curious introvert, she is the happiest when reading novels, enjoying a good cup of coffee and listening to her fave band EXO.
At Larawan Ink, we believe that great design should be both functional and beautiful. Our team of designers and architects work collaboratively to create innovative designs that meet our clients' needs and exceed their expectations.
