HEY, nice to meet you!
THIS IS THE HARDEST PArt OF the WEBSITE BUT, I'LL TRY TO TELL A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT ME
Jaychrist Teves is a Filipino Creative Entrepreneur and maker of functional and meaningful experiences. He shares his meaningful adventure with some amazing places and people using his bike at Malaya.Digital, He produces and created an episodic podcast from his small home studio called The Design Life Show for Filipino creatives that are bold enough to pursue their purpose with passion from the ground up, he also created some few practical courses for aspiring creatives and entrepreneurs focusing on three course tracks such as essentialism, design and creativity at Journy Academy and currently helping local budding entrepreneurs, micro-small brands & businesses build something meaningful as a Chief Creative of All Things Awesome (I just don’t like calling myself a CEO) at TDPH (Think Digital Philippines), the Philippines #1 Digital Transformation Team based in Cavite which he bootstrapped in his one-bedroom shitty apartment. Just in case that you want to know, he is originally born in Manila (Quezon City), but grew up and raised in Southern Shore of Manila Bay, Philippines (Silang Cavite). He now lives and works independently together with his beautiful wife and two clever daughters (Check out our lovely family portrait below!).
Jaychrist’s has a different journey than most. He started his career after working in some shitty jobs like working in a factory (he respect the job, the people he worked with, and he do not intend to degrade people.) He calls it shitty because of the work environment, he worked there under poor conditions, and with low income. After realizing that his health and happiness were more important. He left the job, got back in school, and work his ass off to build his creative design business as a side hustle. Fast forward after a few years, through a ton of courage and hard work, Jaychrist is now a designer, founder, speaker, mentor, and maker of functional-meaningful experiences for digital services and products.
With more than thirteen (13+) years of design and brand experience, Jaychrist had the honor of developing products and services for companies such as Envato, Happy Orange Project, Priority Consultants, RVPRCO, Brainhub, Bodies.tv, Walkthrough, Personiv, Dilate Digital, PayStaff, RemitAU, Legacy Podcasting, Kerry Barrett Consulting and thousands of different niches of brands, businesses, and companies around the world.
To his parents delight, Jaychrist has been lucky enough to be featured on a number of well known organizations and publications such as Google I/O Manila, WeRemote Philippines, Center for Technopreneurship and Innovations – Batstateu, Hack Manila 2018, Ambidextr Media, Filipino Freelancers with Australian Client Community, Creative Manila – Portfolio of the week, Logo Daily by Creato, Fomolist – Filipino Tech & Business, Health Revolution, Innovation+ Creative Edge, The Rajiv Show Podcast, Creative Chika Podcast, Hustle to Freedom Podcast, and GoSolo (Entrepreneur Stories) to name a few.
Jaychrist was also the former co-founder of DesignPlusHub.com.ph, the first online creative space sharing community in Cavite, Philippines and previously the Chief Creative Lead of Poddle — a full-stack creative & innovation boutique based in the Southern Shore of Manila Bay, PH. Nonetheless, he is relentlessly designing and building purposeful experiences for brands, businesses and even for the Filipino creative community.
Aside from the daily grind, Jaychrist is sharing his thoughts about essentialism, creativity, user experience design (UED), and productivity in his personal newsletter, a journal reaching millions of talented and passionate creatives each month around the world. He’s also the host and producer of The Design Life Show (TDLS) — a personal talk-based podcast, aiming to spark an interesting conversation with creatives, makers, builders, and hustlers. It’s basically designed to share knowledge, inspire and contribute to the Filipino creative community in an interesting way.
