Hi! I’m Alexandra – I love to smile, give, and learn. If you’re like me and you also like contributing to positive change and challenging others to do the same, we’ll get along really well!

More about me:

I am based in Bulacan, Philippines and what I love most about this place is its people. Growing up seeing them build a solid community where everyone welcomes kindness, growth, and empowerment encouraged me to do the same in other spaces I am part of.

The people around me inspired me to get out in the world and magnify the important things I learned from my community - to find opportunities to grow and help others realize that they could flourish by recognizing the positive changes they could do.

I took secondary education in university so I could inspire and educate young people. But as I went on, I realized that teaching is not for me and not a profession that burns the fire in me. This existential dread got worse when COVID hit, and I was stuck with my own thoughts.

I thought I had to do something with my passion for a better community and I never thought that a phone call with a close friend would instantly put me in a situation where my passion is needed.

And that’s how I started with Your Stuff Made; a team of creatives who make themselves available for fellow creators and challenge others to maintain ethical work in the industry.

I started at Your Stuff Made as a creative consultant to help artists understand more about the direction they want to go with their crafts. This first role is an amazing opportunity for me to warm up my passion and set up myself for growth and success by learning the areas I can help our clients with.

The more I immerse myself in the community, the more I fall in love with it. The creators in this space care a lot more than just making money. They care about their crafts, their fellow artists, their impact and I am here to embrace and contribute to it. But I also got exposed to the sad truth that there are people that need a nudge and to be challenged.

I have a dream for this community to sustain its positive energy and continue to be the space for creatives to create in a way they can be proud of. With this dream, I take on the responsibility to advocate for a positive change, challenge you to ask questions, and demand better practice.

I am walking this movement with you, with Your Stuff Made backing us up.
This is our story of how we changed this industry to become the space we can all love and be proud of.

Our journey starts now.
