Work

I work across media, creative technology, writing, research, and community-building.

Much of my work explores how we can remain curious, creative, and human while living increasingly digital lives. This is a growing record of the things I have built, shaped, studied, organized, and cared enough about to pursue.


Internet + Media


I have been making things for the internet since I was young. I am interested in why people pay attention, what makes an idea travel, and how media can help people see familiar things differently.

TikTok / @franifesto

Finding balance → flourishing while using tech and being online. How do we reclaim our curiosity, creativity, and humanity in + alongside digital spaces?

YouTube

Long-form documentation of my changing interests, ideas, creative process, and attempts to answer the recurring question: How do I live well?

Content + community @ Sane

A radically human social network x creative tool. Scaled to 200k~ users (5.2M+ reach). Working with Sane has been one of the most profound experiences of my life ♡


Chronicler

Building a second brain through texting. Owned the end-to-end content process for a second-brain tool built around texting, from use-case discovery and positioning to storytelling, production, publishing, and community support.
Kinopio

Partnership. Created videos and custom templates showing how Kinopio can be used for visual thinking, memory-keeping, and building personal internet spaces. (2M+ reach)  
Catholica World

A Catholic media project creating thoughtful and approachable ways to engage with the faith. Made in mind and heart for cradle Catholics, returners, and anyone curious enough to keep asking questions.



Tools + systems

I like turning messy internal experiences into things people can see, move around, and work with—without making their lives feel like productivity dashboards.

Mental Hygiene

A framework and interactive tool for dealing with overwhelm by treating headspace like a physical space. Externalize what’s occupying your mind, add context, and decide what deserves attention next.
Tiny Notion Tools

Tiny tools for reflection, emotional clarity, intentional planning, and living well—designed to fit into people’s existing systems rather than replace them.  
Digital Gardening

A dedicated digital space for consciously collecting, connecting, and developing ideas across different media and minds. Part notebook, part archive, and part alternative to the endless feed.

In Good Faith

A conversation card game about Catholic belief, doubt, identity, and lived experience. Its questions move through three levels—Come Curious, Keep Thinking, and In Good Faith—to help substantive conversations unfold naturally.





Writing + Ideas


Writing has been a transformative experience. I use it to connect ideas, make internal experiences more legible, and understand what living well might require from us now.

How To Be A Graceful Thinker in the Digital Age

If our thoughts shape our words, and our words shape our actions, then what happens when our thoughts are shaped by algorithms designed to provoke us?





Communities + initatives

I care about making spaces where people feel invited to take their curiosity, beliefs, and unfinished ideas seriously.

Merienda

Would anyone want to work on our projects together while having merienda?   
Fundraising + Operations

Helped raise more than ₱70,000 for school-kit campaigns, community pantries, employment workshops, and initiatives supporting the Filipino dance community. My work included campaign communication, coordination, fundraising, and logistics.
