MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Leave it to artists to derive the point that a woman’s perspective matters. Through their hard work and skills, more and more women are claiming spaces and their right to creatively and permanently exist in them.
Enter Raxenne Maniquiz, an artist and woman who is in a league entirely of her own. As a graphic designer and illustrator, she is known for featuring endemic flora and fauna. Her personal works are exquisite, and they reveal the beauty of how she gazes at the natural world as both an artist and a woman.
At Plus63 Design Co, Raxenne was behind the branding and illustration projects for clients such as Uniqlo, The Grid Food Market, Theo & Philo Artisan Chocolates, ALT Philippines, and Paprika Cosmetics. As an independent illustrator, she has also collaborated with brands Charles & Keith, Cole Haan, Dr. Martens, Janji, and Jordan, and has also designed for brands such as Trader’s Lounge, Souvenir, and Greener & Partners.
In 2020, Raxenne spoke about her freelance and studio work at Graphika Manila. She’s been invited to speak at other creative gatherings, including Oro Design Conference (2019), CREATE Philippines (2018), and Digital Congress (2017).
In celebration of Women’s Month, Raxenne will be sharing her story and more in the upcoming adobo Talks “adobo She Creative Breakfast: an intimate conversation over breakfast with women in creative”, the first event under the Adobo SheCreative Network. The session will feature a lineup of outstanding women leaders who have made their mark in their creative industries in an insightful morning session on what it takes to lead their respective fields.
