About Megan Manigbas
At my core, I am a creative with a passion for design and craftsmanship. My journey began in Film Production, where I thrived in visual storytelling and building immersive worlds. As an Undergrad, I experienced hands-on experience of various Film Production roles - everything from producing to sound design to video editing. Through this process, I developed a strong interest towards Production Design; instantly being drawn to the art of constructing and designing. This love for design later carried me into the world of luxury events where I led and orchestrated 75+ grand occasions through florals. My initial design expertise naturally led to involvement in digital marketing. There, I utilized my strong media literacy and storytelling skills to define brand identity and develop engaging, audience-resonant content. This comprehensive design background proved invaluable when I decided to pivot and explore the world of architecture.Let\'s connect to discuss innovative marketing strategies, the latest design solutions, or simply chat about movies!
