<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For more than 12 years, <a href="https://philsme.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">PHILSME</a> has built a vital platform for small and medium enterprises in the Philippines. Through its flagship PHILSME Business Expo &amp; Conference, it has gathered founders, entrepreneurs, corporate solution providers, franchisors, investors, policymakers, and business leaders around one clear purpose: helping the country’s SME ecosystem grow stronger.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Its move into publishing extends that mission onto the printed page.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">PHILSME Business Magazine was created as a collectible, portrait-led publication that gives permanence to the stories of Filipino entrepreneurs. It places the people behind the businesses at the center of the page, presenting enterprise through character, courage, and lived experience. The magazine also supports small and medium businesses by connecting them with brands, partners, collaborators, and opportunities for growth.</p>

<div style="height:12px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As PHILSME’s creative collaborator, <a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/top-branding-agency-philippines/" type="link" id="https://designfortomorrow.co/top-branding-agency-philippines/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Design For Tomorrow</a>, a Manila-based branding, strategy, design, editorial, and custom publishing agency, led the concept, art direction, and design direction for the magazine’s inaugural issue.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The objective was to create a publication with presence: tactile, considered, and memorable. Print gives entrepreneurial stories a physical life. It slows the reader down and gives each profile the space to be seen, kept, and returned to. Visibility becomes something held in the hand, rather than lost in the scroll.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For DFT, the project reflects a belief in custom publishing, editorial design, brand storytelling, and strategic content as tools for giving institutions, communities, and industries a clearer image of themselves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We celebrate PHILSME’s move into publishing and are grateful to have collaborated on an inaugural issue that gives fuller form to the courage and craft of Filipino entrepreneurs.</p>

<div style="height:12px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At its best, enterprise is measured by nerve, persistence, imagination, and the stubborn optimism required in a country where entrepreneurs often become dreamers, accountants, operations managers, occasional therapists, and, before lunch, possibly electricians.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through PHILSME Business Magazine, these stories gain a more permanent form: printed, framed, designed, and given the dignity of attention.</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <strong>Stephan Holzinger monograph</strong>, <em>Moments of Life, Live Moments</em>, was launched in Manila through a vernissage by Design For Tomorrow in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Makati. Stephan Holzinger is a self-taught street photographer whose work captures the unadorned and unscripted poetry of everyday life: fleeting glances on bustling streets, shadows dancing in urban light, and human presence in motion. After decades of representation, foreign relations, and negotiations, his perspective shifted into a lifetime&#8217;s pursuit of clarity—light piercing complexity, resilience blooming in silence, purpose etched in every frame.</p>

<div style="height:12px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Emerging from an intentional way of seeing how life unfolds, Stephan’s debut monograph, <em>Moments of Life, Live Moments</em>, transforms ordinary scenes from his travels into profound reflections on humanity. Through Holzinger’s lens, unguarded impressions turn into an invitation to witness, feel, and join something that reaches beyond the images.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Jerome Lorico's ALEMBONG collection is a defiant act of reclamation. It challenges the colonial gaze that demoted the Filipina word for spirited wit and feminine freedom into a synonym for frivolousness. Spun from piña and silk, the garments drape like wind, suggesting both modesty and abandon. Arriving in Milan as a provocation, ALEMBONG restores the lost energy, merging the barrio lass and the city girl in one stunning body.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerome-allen-lorico-1800765b/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Jerome Allen Lorico</a> has a gift for turning a word on its head. This is one of those moments when a designer takes a word we thought we knew and flips it, reframing it into the joyful essence that was lost. That word is Alembong. Playful, piquant, often maligned, but in his hands, a mirror to the Filipina spirit that is both mischievous and magnificent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As one of 12 FASHIONPhilippines designers at Milan Fashion Week, Jerome brings a 15-piece collection and a meditation on how language, material, and memory can be stitched into something at once subversive and soulful to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/fondazione-sozzani/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Fondazione Sozzani</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This showcase is part of the FASHIONPhilippines Milan Mentorship Program. A project by<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/dtiphilippines/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer"> Department of Trade and Industry</a> &#8211;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/center-for-international-trade-expositions-and-missions/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer"> Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM)</a> collaboration with the<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/philippine-fashion-coalition/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer"> Philippine Fashion Coalition</a>,<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dost-ptri-70781a278/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer"> DOST PTRI</a>, and<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/lit-fashion/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer"> Lit.fashion</a> Consultancy, created to elevate Filipino talent on the international stage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The story doesn’t end in Milan: these collections will return home to<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/manilafame/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer"> Manila FAME</a> 2025 at the World Trade Center Philippines this October, a reminder that what we present to the world must also enrich our own ground.<br><a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Design For Tomorrow</a> was asked to write the curator’s notes for <em>Alembong</em>, and lay out the collection&#8217;s accompanying literature. It was a privilege and a provocation to help frame Jerome’s vision at this milestone moment for Philippine design.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-alembong">Alembong</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="ember3562"><em>Alembong</em>. A word that, in its modern aftertaste, carries the sly curl of a lip: flirt, coquette, frivolous. Historically and anthropologically, before the weight of colonization and the catechism of virtue, it was something else: a shimmer in the air, the sparkle of a young Filipina’s wit, the quicksilver daring of laughter that refuses to bow. <em>Alembong </em>was ebullience itself, a feminine street-smartness that brightened the <em>barangay</em>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="bb21">The Spaniards, with their saints and sermons, found this sparkle too ungovernable. Under the gaze of Catholic morality, <em>alembong </em>was demoted to vice, its playful energy pressed into silence. Yet listen closely to the folk songs: <em>Sitsiritsit</em> with its teasing cadences, <em>Paru-parong Bukid</em> winging through fields, the lilting grace of <em>Cariñosa</em>, the unruly laughter of <em>Waray-Waray</em>, and the spirit persists. Each melody is a secret insurgency, an echo of alembong’s original freedom.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="d73e"><a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/work/lorico/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jerome Lorico</a> seizes this paradox. His <a href="https://vogue.ph/gallery/vogue-threads-jerome-lorico/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer"><em>Alembong</em> Collection</a> does not trade in coyness, but in reclamation. The garments, spun from piña, silk, cotton, and hybrid fibres, drape and unravel like wind skimming skin, never erotic for its own sake, but alive with ease, fire, and awakening. Like the tapis of old, they suggest both modesty and abandon, discipline and spontaneity.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Social scientists are alarmed, and marketers are panicking: a peculiar social crisis is unfolding as friendships vanish and younger generations increasingly withdraw. This surge in isolation isn't just a phase; it's a public health crisis. For brands, the answer isn't louder ads, but a strategic shift towards emotional fluency, intimacy, and building genuine community to foster belonging in an increasingly disconnected world.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="ember3562">There’s been a lot of dissenting voices and opinions forming around the controversy of the Guess ad campaign, created by Seraphinne Vallora, which <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgeqe084nn4o" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Vogue had published</a>. It’s been observed that the AI-generated model has an extremely close digital likeness to Kate Upton, a very popular model.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many are in upheaval about the use of AI model images in place of humans. Some raise the issue of beauty perfection, job displacements, and the entire future of the modeling industry. Someone’s quick casual question about this topic ensued a reflection on, indeed, how do we all cross this juncture of authenticity and technology?</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="928" height="522" src="https://designfortomorrow.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/designfortomorrow-article-ai-beauty-industry-guess.png" alt="" class="wp-image-11984" srcset="https://designfortomorrow.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/designfortomorrow-article-ai-beauty-industry-guess.png 928w, https://designfortomorrow.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/designfortomorrow-article-ai-beauty-industry-guess-300x169.png 300w, https://designfortomorrow.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/designfortomorrow-article-ai-beauty-industry-guess-768x432.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 928px) 100vw, 928px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>A flawless AI-generated model for Guess showcases a striped maxi dress and a floral playsuit.</em></figcaption></figure>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m not as steeped in fashion as I am marinated in the creative industry, having been a communications strategist for some decades now, and still at it. As such, I deal with data, analytics, and patterns of thoughts and cultures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think that at the base of these outcries, a mirror is being held to our face. Welcome to the emergence, embedding, and professionalization of AI in the creative industry. Happening at breakneck speed, unimaginable to most of us ordinary mortals, it also wasn’t invented yesterday. It’s been simmering under our noses while a great majority of us are busy with social media. It’s been an underground superintelligence that was ripe to go overground, is what I would think of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A quick trip to a site called <a href="https://kartel.ai/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">KARTEL</a> (AI-powered productions) and others like it tells us that the commercial production landscape has been not-so-quietly changing all along. Big brands like Sephora, Snickers, All Saints, films needing historical reenactments, and many others have trodden the AI path. AI Generalists, AI Creative Developers, and AI Directors are nascent job titles as we’re simply scraching the surface of the AI-powered creative industry.</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Humanity and technology have often been at odds with each other. Think HUMANITY on one end of the spectrum, TECHNOLOGY on the other. In the middle of these two is CREATIVITY. The creative industry, which encompasses advertising, visual arts, handcrafts, music, graphic design, filmmaking, production, and writing, to name a few.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HUMANITY is realness, values, emotions, and natural beauty. TECHNOLOGY is efficiency, expedience, and also an imagination of what’s possible beyond human capacity. Once the latter is set into motion, there’s no going back. We’ve seen this with the internet, robotics-assisted healthcare, and the logistics of everyday goods. The applications of expediency go on. Our daily lives are now measured by convenience, comforts, solutions, engagements, and attractions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">CREATIVITY has often been prone to technological developments for a few good reasons: creation takes time, equipment of the trade is expensive, experts’ man-hours are high-value, and the entire industry is naturally open to experimentation and innovation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In that mirror AI holds up to us, we find a face in shock. And we say, how could a big brand, Guess in this case, and Vogue, a respected institution in publishing and lifestyle curation dare replace human models with AI-gen similars? The ethical debate will prove to be a garden path, one which I’ll leave, for now, to experts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If there’s one single distillation of the juncture that humanity and technology face in this case, it is about <a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/profile/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">BEAUTY STORYTELLING</a>. Beauty that encompasses the physical, emotional, and even ideals of kindness, respect, dignity, and such.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the aspect of physical beauty, the industry is now faced with real choices. Do you tell the beauty story at its most natural, unassisted and unenhanced way or polished and expedient with imaginative technology? We lose and gain something from each method. And there will be collateral damage on both ends.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the creative industry turns itself more towards AI-assistance in its beauty storytelling, would we miss something? The naturalness, the slight imperfection, the flow, the evocation of feelings by the images we show. The notion that beauty isn’t perfection is what exactly makes it relatable. A purely AI-creation in visual arts or graphic design, for instance, can’t fully telegraph emotions. Tried looking at one lately?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the creative industry faces more of these crossroad decisions between humanity and technology, it’ll be prudent to be aware of the new tools of the trade, ever-sharper, ever-imaginative, enough to decide ‘what we’re trading in place of what’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, we’re all probably experiencing the ‘shock of the new’ as Robert Hughes had articulated in his 1980 documentary on the evolution of modern art. We’ll most likely get used to the new scenery. But as humans, our choice muscle may need to keep getting stronger as we go along.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One thing is very clear: the renewable energy race is no longer a gradual burn. The power race has become an all-out sprint. Industry giants are pushing boundaries, rewriting the rules of sustainable energy, and setting new benchmarks for innovation and evolution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;re witnessing a high-stakes transformation. Brands that fail to evolve risk lagging in this dash for advancement. Clean energy isn&#8217;t the future; it&#8217;s the current reality. It&#8217;s competitive, clean, and, for non-competitive brands, unforgiving. Companies that don’t sharpen their identity and amplify their impact risk being left in the dark.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even non-energy brands are adapting. For example, Nestlé shifted to 100% renewable power as part of its long-term strategy, and ENGIE has implemented significant transitions with smart cooling solutions. These examples underscore a seismic shift: the clean energy revolution is now mainstream, declaring a clear message—embrace change or risk irrelevance.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Igniting Creative Futures</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Last April 2025, Design For Tomorrow (DFT) partnered with the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cosaateneo/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Ateneo Collegiate Society of Advertising (CoSA)</a> to take part in their flagship project, Ad Expo. This annual program offers Ateneo students firsthand insights into the dynamics and work culture in the advertising industry through brand-led experiences, agency activations, and career opportunities. This year’s edition was themed Ad to Cart, and with our participation, we aimed to offer a unique perspective, emphasizing the crucial role that branding plays in the industry.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We participated in the on-campus booth fair for two consecutive days, offering inquisitive students an inside look at our agency’s work and role in the creative industry. We showcased some of our works and opened internship opportunities for students aspiring to gain hands-on experience in the creative industry. We also plugged our sister company, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sprucegalleryph/?hl=en" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Spruce Gallery</a>, a third-space shop and art gallery in Ortigas that houses independent magazines.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Honored to Inspire the Next Wave</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our engagement extended to the talk series, where DFT’s Creative Director and Chief Strategist, Ric Gindap, delivered a keynote on navigating the creative process of campaigns. Our talk explored how innovative strategies can amplify a brand’s market presence, illustrated by case studies from our work with luxury property, <a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/work/the-velaris-residences-crafting-the-essence-of-intentionality/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Velaris Residences</a>, and five-star event and entertaining brand, <a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/work/marquis/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Marquis</a>. Among the other guest speakers were Dennis Austriaco, Head of Nescafé, who discussed creating an authentic brand identity that fosters lasting customer loyalty, and Juliana Denise, a marketing strategist and entrepreneur, who shared strategies on positioning products as must-have items.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We are honored and grateful for the cherished opportunity to play a meaningful role in crafting an inspiring journey for the next generation of aspiring creative, advertising, and branding professionals.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Why Branding Is The Shorthand of An Entrepreneur’s Story</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Friday, 22nd of November 2024, the entire SMX Convention Center Manila was filled with an estimated 120 exhibitors, 180 business solutions, and attendees reaching more than 17,000 within a 2-day event. Thirty keynote speakers shared their experience, passion, and most of all, hard-earned wisdom in running their own businesses. ‘Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart,’ my great friend and colleague Ric Gindap opens the series of talks with an audience who understood in the bosom of their existence what daily bravery means to one who has decided to run a business, and decides for that entity every day, come what may.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My father, called Ave by the whole town and people who loved him dearly, was a serial entrepreneur in the food business (despite later being beleaguered by serious illnesses). Going into business was a primal reaction to losing a job at the factory when my siblings and I were in high school.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Primal reaction is what’s elicited when humans are tested for survival. The word ‘serial’ gets a bad rep in modern times, but for an entrepreneur, ‘serial’ amounts to an incredible amount of courage to start right from the beginning, often with nothing, and to surmount desperations (but also celebrate wins) that words fall short for.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On stage heralding the entire <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PhilippineSMEBusinessExpo/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">15ᵗʰ Philippine SME Business Expo</a> is a lady named <a href="https://ph.linkedin.com/in/trixie-esguerra-abrenilla-12205449" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Trixie Esguerra-Abrenilla</a>, whose beloved husband David Abrenilla, PhilSME’s former CEO and biggest advocate, had passed on in 2023. Trixie ‘inherited’ what now goes beyond an advocacy and has become a singular lifeblood for SMEs. What amount of bravery would Trixie have to summon, not just during events like these, but in daily life, I wondered.<strong> </strong>Entrepreneurship consists of constant restarts.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once in 2022, for World Entrepreneurship Day, I penned lines which Ric had then asked <a href="https://www.homonym.ph/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Homonym</a> (another entrepreneurial company who works with the science of music) to weave some melody into. Each line in that poetry was a vignette of the seasonality of emotions that accompany an entrepreneur’s life. ‘You’re the first in the office, because you never left,’ was enough reminder from Ric on the dire hole entrepreneurs have excavated for ourselves – from which we manage to come up for an air of fulfillment every now and then. And everyone can use a whole lot of help, starting with being seen and heard, as an entrepreneur and as a brand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Creativity gives us hope. One of the many tools of the entrepreneur is branding, and an indispensable one at that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The genesis of branding dates to 2700 BC among ancient Egyptians when livestock were branded because there was no way of identifying them should one landlord’s sheep or cattle cross the land of another. Branding was about ownership, identity, and even a magic spell that protected animals from harm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then and now, in a thousand-year span, branding still does its magic. It’s still an owner’s most prominent asset which holds his intentions, his vision, his hopes and dreams, and his potential to be valuable.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/work/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">At Design For Tomorrow, branding is the ultimate shorthand of your story.</a> And one, that at all costs, entrepreneurs must be proud of. We must commit our own stories to memory.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‘Branding pervades almost everything these days,’<strong> </strong>Ric says, extending from popularly known global enterprises present in our daily consumption to business startups in all industries to countries to politics to superheroes to individual celebrities and influencers, human and non-human.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Think for a moment about the sea of brands: who or what actually gets your share of significance? A few might. But also, many won’t.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two bags, same size, same shape, same type of material. One is US$18 and the other is US$18 million. While there are intrinsic differences in quality and provenance, the value perception is as large as the Pacific Ocean. And the pride in ownership, as vast.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One bread, one story. The humble pan de coco is one of the most loved local breads in the Philippines. It’s my favorite. When travelling out of town, it’s one of those treats I joyfully look for, because when it’s made good, it is good. It’s flour-full, coconut meat-loaded, and sugar-drenched.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Filipinos love it because it’s delicious, filling, affordable, and easy to find in hometown <em>panaderias</em>.</p>

<div style="height:24px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The owner of <a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/work/cocopan-phl-retail-branding-local-bakery/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">COCOPAN</a> approached Ric one day, and said, ‘We know that you&#8217;re doing premium branding, but think of a call center, a single mother, somebody who will rush in the morning and plow through the day with nothing but a single pan de coco as their fuel.’</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At that very moment, the humble pan de coco was a piece of bread no more, it was fuel for humans who need to go through the lengths of everyday work, with nothing much in their pockets and stomachs. COCOPAN, the courage to continue. It is one among numerous unique stories we love to tell.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s a semi-question that Ric has forever etched in my mind: ‘Imagine what we can do, if we were less afraid?’ And we both ponder on it endlessly. Every entrepreneurial and every worthy human story is a narrative of being less afraid. <a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/profile/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">DFT has become a keeper of stories, and a shaper of identities. We differentiate, elevate, captivate.</a> A huge amount of technicality goes with the work, yet the real human work belongs to an entrepreneur.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our little team spent a bit of time at the DFT booth especially designed to welcome visitor inquiries and for them to drop entries to win a DFT branding service package (or for the introverts, allow one to grab a brochure unnoticed). It was the quintessential un-booth. No official facades, multiple entrances, Swiss-Japanese inspired open seating, real breathing plants, and only a big signage of a thought to take home: <a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/contact/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">‘Welcome to a partnership where your dream takes center stage.’</a> And on that day, there were nearly 20,000 dreamers and 20,000 storytellers, discovering their share of significance.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Design For Tomorrow celebrated a progressive architectural firm&#8217;s milestone project with the launch of <em>Shifting Sands &#8211; Visions, Propositions, and Imaginations. </em>This monograph marks the transformation of Buensalido Architects into their new name, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/barchan_architecture/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Barchan Architecture</a>. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the launch event at Manila House, BGC, this past April 25, 2024, Jason Buensalido and his team acknowledged our Manila-based creative agency&#8217;s work in orchestrating all the elements of this 400-page mammoth.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both Barchan’s brand identity and <em>Shifting Sands</em> were designed by Design For Tomorrow’s Mikaela Torres, with grid, typesetting and technical direction by Senior Designer Israel Contreras. The book project was managed by Michelle Longronio, with overall creative direction from Ric Gindap, Rashina Tuazon and Bonnapart Galeng. A project spanning nearly three years &#8211; from branding to book design &#8211;&nbsp; this weighty monograph highlights Barchan’s “innovative, original, and forward-thinking design solutions” across disciplines.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the launch event, founder Jason Bunesalido thanked the Design For Tomorrow team “for [their] creative direction and putting together all of our thoughts and visuals into this wonderful piece of art that allows our ideas to be shared to the world.”&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Design For Tomorrow has long been a partner of the Buensalido team, having also helmed the design of their 2014 book, <em>Random Responses: A Crusade to Contemporize Philippine Architecture</em>. Jason Buensalido once remarked, “There are a lot of branding agencies out there, but if you want a group that really listens to you in an empathetic way, really tries to extract what you mean and what your objectives are beyond what you are saying; Design For Tomorrow [&#8230;] is the perfect match for you.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is only one of Design For Tomorrow’s branding and design work for homegrown brands that have been making an impact throughout the Philippines and beyond. Most recently, DFT rebranded the heritage shoe and bag brand <a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/work/mendrez-retail-branding-philippines/?_thumbnail_id=10624" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mendrez</a>, which has since had its first store re-opening in SM City Cebu. Design For Tomorrow are also behind the branding of two local start-ups in <a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/work/cocopan-phl-retail-branding-local-bakery/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cocopan</a>, a neighborhood bakery, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reseta.ph/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Reseta</a>, a community pharmacy which has just opened in Malolos, Bulacan. Elsewhere, the newly Singapore-registered company has made a global impact in cities such as Tokyo, Munich, Vienna, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Melbourne, and Pretoria.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Design For Tomorrow’s signature style is marked by timeless sophistication and branding co-crafted in collaboration with their clients. Moving forward, Design For Tomorrow continues to pursue projects underpinned by their work as Vision Articulators<strong><sup>®</sup></strong>. Design For Tomorrow has established prominence in Placemaking, or the delicate art of crafting spaces into living narratives. Recently completed luxury property development projects include <a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/work/eluria-real-estate-branding/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Eluria</a> (Arthaland), The Observatory (FNG / Federal Land + Nomura Real Estate) and Velaris Residences (RHK / Robinsons Land + Hong Kong Land).&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Design For Tomorrow’s sibling is <a href="https://designfortomorrow.co/2023/11/spruce-gallery-opens-in-ortigas-this-november-2023/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spruce Gallery</a>, an independent magazine store and art gallery in Ortigas that recently celebrated its opening salvo this past March 9 with the launch of <em>Boys! Boys! Boys! The Book. </em>Both companies act as creative outlets for its shared team on their mutual quest for expression.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Shifting Sands </em>is now available on the Barchan Architecture website and you may order <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeikG6RH88ibC4iK0rpBjrMq-rjp6X9EYwxF3nlRNql6X8Fhw/viewform" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br><em>Design For Tomorrow is always on the lookout for potential partners and projects. You can express your interest at designfortomorrow.co or via email at <a href="mailto:nb@designfortomorrow.co">nb@designfortomorrow.co</a>.</em></p>
