Martinna Mañalac is an associate creative director, designer, and illustrator from the Philippines.

She found her footing in advertising, where she learned the ropes (and sometimes unlearned them) alongside talented teams across APAC, EU, the UAE, and the US. With over a decade of experience in the industry, she’s worked across nearly every brand category—from homegrown brands to global giants.

Naturally curious and always up for a challenge, Martinna didn’t stop at advertising. Aside from regularly turning her experiences into art, she’s also helped design toys for the LEGO Group in Denmark and later launched her own clothing brand, Loca.

Outside of work, she stays grounded in creative practice—whether it’s on the rings, at the piano, or underwater. She’s spent over a decade training in strength and calisthenics, studied classical music for a few years, and went from not knowing how to swim to becoming an advanced scuba diver and certified freediver.

An all-around creative with a thing for discipline, Martinna embodies the kind of creativity that never sits still—always curious, always learning, always growing.
