He had the opportunity to work on the interior design of some well-known figures and celebrities while he was employed at a design firm. These included Vice Ganda, a wellknown comedian in the Philippines, Rachel Arenas, the former chairperson of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board in the Philippines, etc. He made the decision to change course and pursue a career in teaching arts and design for senior high school students in the year 2018.
