On the road again
Was attending a balaykreative.com workshop on Planning events with purpose led by the Gina Mariko and this photo popped up in the presentation from a few years ago at undiscoveredsf.com. This was a banner I created as a punch in the mouth to illicit conversations. The convo is where the value is at and leads to sales. In 2023, I’m planning on a new banner but I don’t know if Dead is still the “right” message. While the usage has certainly grown, it’s still not mainstream. Pro Tip: As a traveling artist, I need something foldable so I printed the banner on a towel.
Starting a business in a recession
What a hot mess! In 2009 there was a recession in the US and I lost my day job. I cut expenses and reinvested back into my young venture. I tried a bunch of shit to see what resonated with myself and people. Trial and many errors during this time. I also took side contract gigs managing customer service for a startup and process consulting for a finance company. It was tough starting something new in the middle of all the challenges. 10 years later, we’re faced with something worst. Through this, I’m seeing folks innovate and move forward accepting the reality that will create a better tomorrow for themselves and community. Keep pushing forward

About Baybayin Agency
Baybayin | Agency is a San Francisco based, Philippine minded Boutique Agency with one passion: To give brands and individuals the Filipino experience using the ancient writing system, Baybayin.
Introducing Baybayin Agency
It’s a boutique agency specializing in providing professional transliteration of the Filipino script (Baybayin) to businesses worldwide. Now you know why I’ve been bombarding the Baybayin Facebook page with all these questions. I’m hoping to get the site up in the next couple of months to start the official launch.
Unlike my Baybayin “translation” services on PinoyTattoos.com where I focus on custom artwork for tattoos, Baybayin Agency will focus on business needs such as transliteration, translation and graphic design.
Visit BaybayinAgency.com and sign up for a notification of the launch.
P.S. I’m looking for Tagalog speakers who know Baybayin. Interested in taking on some future jobs? Email info@baybayinagency.com
