Loisse Ledres is a Filipina freelance designer and illustrator based in the Southwest of what is colonially known as the United States. She is always experimenting to discover how image, text and color intersects with culture to empower and mobilize people. Through her skillset in experiential design, she infuses interactivity within creative media and event spaces. She’s worked with organizations and creative agencies in NYC, San Francisco, LA and New Mexico. 

Loisse is also developing personal projects with like-minded creatives that facilitate creativity and breakdown obstacles to doing so. As Creative Director of Tagalikha, she helps lead discussions around the intersection of Filipino identity and creation. She hopes to continue creating art that helps people feel seen and inspired to access their own creativity, too.
