For these interviews, we pick people who add value to our community – in the blog, in the forums, in the projects. Plainly – activities that make crowdSPRING a better community. Be professional, treat others with respect, help us build something very special, and we’ll take notice. We’re very proud to feature Bryan Blue Cuevas (crowdSPRING username: blueii) today. Blue lives and works in Manila, Philippines. 1. Please tell us about yourself. There’s something about interviews that unnerves me but WOW, I’m being interviewed. That’s so cool! Hey there! My name’s Bryan Blue Cuevas but you can call me Blue. I’m a quarter of a century years old living in Manila, Philippines. I graduated with a degree in Fine Arts where I majored in Advertising. The odd thing is that art and design were never my first choices. I’ve already finished a year in medical technology before I shifted to Fine Arts where I realized that designing is my passion. It gave me perspective on what I wanted to do as a career. Moving on… I’ve worked at a couple of design/advertising agencies where I learned the ropes of the trade. After which I went to a large FMCG corporation where I worked as the in-house designer for their packaging, labeling and other collateral. I stayed on for a year then I started my freelance practice at www.bluescue.com. On to a more personal side of myself. I have a girlfriend of 4 years and 2 toy poodles (yep, I know. Very manly huh?). I love japanese and mexican food. I hate waiting in lines. 2. What is the design industry like in the Philippines? I couldn’t really say much since I’m just one of the thousands and thousands of creative people that make up the whole design industry here. But in my own opinion, it’s getting better now since a lot of the agencies and schools of design are opening their minds to different styles and not just focus on the trends.
