Return to my childhood home with my daughter. Mandaluyong, Philippines. 2018.
My name is Carlo Paolo Espiritu and I’m a design leader with 0-1 expertise helping brands bring clarity to ideas, identities, and interfaces by staying culturally aware, making sense out of data, and thinking about the future before it gets here. Bleeding-edge technologies are inspiring when they solve real human problems and I have experience simplifying and bringing magic to complex systems across AI, ML, and web3. 🌐
Superpowers: Agility 🖖🏼 Pattern Recognition 🧩 Optimism 💫
Now: Communication Assistance. Recently: Sales Tech, Crypto, Enterprise Blockchain, and Healthcare. 🦄
Previously, I helped develop new products, services, and experiences for Fortune 500 brands through design, brand strategy, storytelling, prototyping, consumer research, trend analysis, defining new categories, and generating insights and solutions. 🚀
Before that, I led a career across entertainment advertising and corporate branding along with music video and commercial production. 🎬
Always: On a quest for great strip-mall omakase sushi. 🍣
One of the bredrins. Jai Paul’s greatest fan. 🕶️
Lastly, Andre 3000 once told me on my last day in NY, “Carlo, really awesome meeting you today, thank you.” ✨
