mabuhey!
I'm Jap and here's a peek into
my stories, creations and beyond!
I'm Japheth Tobias,
a 25- year-old creative based in Manila.
By profession, I am a creative writer for one of the leading news sites in the Philippines, producing all sorts of branded content since 2020.
Fresh out of college, I worked as a content developer slash community development manager in a Public Relations agency, working on exciting digital campaigns for top technology businesses and motoring brands.
When I'm not immersed in my writing and content creation, I indulge my love for art, games, gadgets and internet culture.

As a writer, I craft
engaging, informative, and impactful stories.
I've contributed to a wide range of publications, covering topics that include news features, lifestyle articles, human-interest stories, advertorials and more.

Cloutchasing isn’t necessarily bad.
As a creative, I've leveraged the power of storytelling and strategic messaging to elevate brands, amplify voices, and drive meaningful engagement around causes I believe in.
During my experience as a content developer, I’ve had a fun ride managing social media accounts of different brands, producing content, maintaining visibility and strategizing to keep the community engaged.

My passion for design was ignited by a childhood love for the visual layouts of newspapers and magazines. As a budding writer, I was drawn not only to the words on the page but also to the way they were presented.
My fascination with these things challenges me to mesh storytelling with visual creativity. Ever since, I've cultivated a passion for design that spans both digital and print mediums.
Tools of the trade: Adobe Photoshop, Indesign and Canva
