About · Est. 2023

If you're reading this, you can call me Rod.

Paid social specialist and graphic designer based in the Philippines. I build ads, emails, and brand assets for DTC health, fitness, and lifestyle brands.

I came up through graphic design, but what sets me apart is that I treat every asset like a test — designed to learn from, not just to look at. Performance over polish, every time.

What people say.

Rodney has this rare instinct for the hook word — the one that makes someone stop scrolling. Our static CTRs doubled within the first quarter.

He doesn't just deliver assets — he delivers tests. Every creative comes with a thesis, and the iteration speed is wild.

Off the clock

Studying typography Currently obsessed with editorial italic display faces and how they perform as ad hooks.
Pickup hoops Most weekends. Half of my visual references come from court light at golden hour.
Coffee & codework Learning enough HTML/CSS to ship my own landing pages — like this one.
Building moodboards A new Are.na channel every month. Currently filling one on Y2K beauty packaging.

Let's make something that performs.
