Manila / Restaurant

Toyo is one of my favorite restaurants in Manila. The shop is in the same compound as my studio, so I always bring my visiting friends here for dinner. The ambience is nice and the food is really really good. It's Filipino food in its essence, but done very differently.

Manila / Art

A dedicated space in Manila for contemporary art galleries, institutions, shops, restaurants, cafes and a design studio, along a wide, shaded garden hallway, The Alley is a quiet and relaxed place where you can sit outside from afternoon to evening over coffee and wine, catch a show, put up a show, meet a friend.

Rikuzentakata / Hotel

It's rare for tourists to go to the Tohoku (Northeast) Region of Japan except for Sendai (the capital). I've been there a couple of times for a design residency. It's good to use Rikuzentakata as the base. I highly recommend Hakoneyama Terrace. It has a nice view, they serve good food and the accommodation is good.

Tokyo / Cafe

This is my favorite go-to coffee shop in Tokyo. It's in a quiet and quaint space. I recommend trying their coffee and muffins. It's also right across a park and playground.

Bristol / Illustrator

I am an illustrator and story-teller currently based in Bristol, UK. "Jayde Perkin is a thoughtful storyteller who uses paint not just to elevate or decorate a story, but to inject it with a personal sense of emotion and feeling. Many contemporary illustrations pop or punch with colour, but Perkin does something else: she creates a visual dialogue with the words of an author, adding not just a different perspective to a text, but infusing it with an intense atmosphere of personal expression." - AIGA Eye On Design
