About

Hi, I’m Jerald Angelo Juatco (jajuatco). I started out designing posters for small local music gigs. At the time, it was just a way to support the scene I was part of. I never expected those early projects would eventually lead to working with brands like Manchester City, Formula 1, and even contributing work connected to Burj Khalifa.

Because I have a background in marketing, I approach design with both visual quality and business context in mind. I work across digital multimedia, including graphic design, motion, and 3D, with the aim of producing outputs that support positioning, conversion, and information clarity across channels.

A Global Perspective: I’ve spent years working as a digital nomad, collaborating with clients in the US, UK, and Germany while living in places like the Philippines, Dubai, and Singapore. This international experience has taught me how to adapt quickly to different teams and cultures.

Alongside freelance projects, I’ve also built a network on 99designs, where I was lucky enough to win 57 design contests and earn a Top-Level badge.

In 2017, I joined Dubai Opera as a Multimedia Designer and Brand Specialist. I had the honor of working on projects for major names like Cameron and Mackintosh & Disney. One of my proudest moments was seeing my work displayed on the Burj Khalifa and featured in Andrew Lloyd Webber site and in New York’s Playbill Magazine.
