Common Room is a collaborative space that houses over 200+ local (Filipino) crafters and brands. I worked as part of their team from 2017 to 2022, while selling my self-designed merchandise in their stores.
As part of the team, we were tasked with marketing and content production for several projects: store openings, pop-ups, community events, and product launches. Below are some of the work we’ve done throughout the years.
A place for makers by makers
All items in Common Room are proudly local. Every item holds a story and a talented maker behind it! While we still believe in the beauty of tangible things, the team has expanded from just retail to sharing our makers’ stories online.
