Meet Rio
Rio is a second-generation Filipina-American multidisciplinary designer. She earned her BFA in Design at the University of Texas at Austin, and has since been working in the creative and political scene in Central Texas. Specializing in branding, website design, and illustration, Rio is passionate about purpose-driven issues and feels her skillset is best utilized when amplifying causes that matter.
