Dana Baldonado or also known as 'Dana Bee' is a freelance illustrator, designer & dog mom based in Manila, Philippines 🎨
She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design degree from De La Salle College of Saint-Benilde, and has completed short courses at the University of the Arts London: Central Saint Martins. She was also part of a residency in Illustration and Visual Storytelling at the School of Visual Arts New York and was a former advertising art director.
She loves creating imagery through emotional, textural, and conceptual narratives revolving around the universe, daily life, and nature.
Her dream projects are editorial illustrations, book covers, and packaging work relating to animals, nature, space, Asian culture, and video games for brands, publications & NGOs.
On her off days, you can find her playing video games, belting out in karaoke bars, and in search of the best Japanese curry in town.
