Just recently, I was asked by my good friend, Alex Eduque (whom I fondly call my ‘lil’sis”) to collaborate a design for a cause so great and very close to her heart. I wholeheartedly obliged knowing how much this means to her and how much I believe in it myself.
The Inspiree Collection launch in partnership with Printonalities came up with something to benefit Alex’s ongoing passion project which is the non stock, non-profit organization, MovEd Foundation. Born from her under graduate thesis at Columbia University, passion for service and love for children, Alex’s vision is for children to develop to their fullest potential—socially, cognitively, physically and spiritually. With all this comes a sense of hope, security, and identity not only for these children but for their families as well.
The first MovEd PreSchool is in the Habitat for Humanity community in Barangay Tanza, Navotas City. They hope to grow exponentially as it is the board’s dream that all underprivileged children get an education.
Printsonalities, the paper company that quite literally “prints out personality”, was born out of a passion for paper in 1998 with the desire to service the needs for a variety of personalized paper products, stickers and ribbons. Sisters, Chiw Bailon and Noky Gatmaitan, expanded their line to include what they see to be the greatest expression of people’s personalities: weddings and milestone event invites.
After that first wedding invitation was printed and sent out, the company has never looked back. A decade and a half later, Printsonalities continues to blaze ahead in the paper industry, setting the highest standards for quality and personal service for invitations and stationery.

I put a lot of passion into my design which I call Beverly Hills in Blue. Along with the other influencers who put their creative juices to good use, may this encourage you to peruse the whole collection where every order benefits MovEd. Each personality has a design so pretty and unique that you just know they were inspired by the cause.
