Hello there/Kamusta po, I’m Cecil Emanuelle!

A Manila-born, San Francisco-based graphic designer specializing in brand identity and research-led visual communication. A Magna Cum Laude Visual Communication Design graduate from San Francisco State University. I believe treating design as a liberal art that merges strategy, cultural context, and empathy to build meaningful visual systems. My foundational work spans large-scale identities for campus initiatives like the Associated Students Board of Directors Elections, publication design for Ex Post Facto, and a hands-on letterpress practice that trained my meticulous eye for typography due to the practice of metal typesetting, tracking, and spatial layout.

Building on this research foundation, I provide comprehensive Brand Identity services designed to help brands find their visual grounding. My core process covers full brand strategy, custom logo suites, curated typography, color palettes, and structured brand guidelines. To bring those identities to life across every touchpoint. I extend my work into tailored packaging systems, from dielines, and label design alongside custom illustration, brand patterns, and icon sets.

Whether designing for web platforms or physical spaces, I bring these brand systems into the real world through responsive websites built on Framer, Cargo, and Squarespace, with a strong background in custom HTML and CSS implementation. I further enhance my work by incorporating subtle motion design into static graphics, bringing dynamic energy to digital collateral, pitch decks, social profile kits, and custom print merchandise to ensure a brand communicates clearly and intentionally across every medium.
