My name is Kristian Tayo (he/him)
HELLO, HELLO!
I’m a Vancouver-based Filipino graphic designer and illustrator who loves to bring colorful creativity from the heart. I infuse my work with vibrance, fun, and just the right amount of whimsy—like a perfectly balanced iced coffee. My design process is driven by research, empathy, and a deep understanding of the audience. I love asking the whys, hows, and whats to deliver work that is not only high-quality and cohesive but also meaningful and impactful.
Over the years, I’ve honed my craft with four years of professional experience in advertising, government, and hospitality. My career began with a BFA in Visual Communication from the University of the Philippines-Diliman, where I discovered my love for vector illustration and marketing. Since then, I’ve worked across various creative fields, from design studios to ad agencies, and in-house teams. In early 2023, I moved to Vancouver to further sharpen my skills at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, continuing to chase creative adventures.
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me wandering the city with my headphones on and an iced coffee in hand, binge-watching my favorite shows until I fall asleep, or telling myself just one more hour of video games (we all know that’s a lie).
