About the Interior DesignerHello, my name is Christine Manalo, a registered Interior Designer and a member of Philippine Institute of Interior Designers. In 2002, I took up B.S. Interior Design in Polytechnic University of the Philippines and graduated in 2006. Right after graduation, I started out as a Fashion and Ramp Model for Mukha Models International while working as a Designer for Trends and Concepts. In 2008, I decided to take up and passed the licensing exam for Interior Designer and received 81.15 ratings. After board exams, I worked with Songsong+Periquet Architecture and Interior Design Firm that is well known for its outstanding design creations for hotels, condo-hotel, golf clubs, lobby and all other interior design projects. In 2010, I entered retail design as a Visual Stylist/ Merchandiser for VMV Hypoallergenics, a designer for store window display and events.
Design Philosophy“Design should mediate the environment and not
against it”
The start of design process, idea, and concept were based upon observing actual site or visuals that were presented during meetings. Designs were based from architecture that was already established and make use of its features as close as possible to its original form. The interior design should match the architectural features. The space should have a whole new look, something fresh from its previous condition but also leaves its distinct appearance.
