Hello!
I'm Angela Taguiang, an illustrator and graphic designer in Manila, Philippines.
I love telling stories through pictures. I love exploring themes of discovery, nature, memories, imagination, and the inner world in my work, celebrating the quiet moments and finding bits of magic in everyday life. I work well with digital tools, but I still find pencils and papers incomparable. I think they allow me to be both delicate and soft, bold and expressive.

I'm a very proud and active member of Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan (Ang INK), the Philippines' first and only organization dedicated to the creation, promotion, and appreciation of illustration for children.
