Who is Maybel?

A girl who finds balance in creativity through fashion design and sketch artistry.

Maybel L. Jesalva is a 20-year-old girl raised and born in Sorsogon City. She expresses her imagination in making a portrait sketch or drawing sketch by illustrating a realistic three-dimensional person's face or any part of the body. She also has a common habit of drawing a realistic eye to any paper she encounters when she felt boredom. The back of her notebooks confirms it.


The lack of colors she possessed as a sketch artist was filled by the use of different colors and types of fabrics in fashion design. From sketching designs and sewing her own costumes, casual and formal attire, she managed to solve some people's wardrobe problems as she's also into repairing clothing. Her skill and experiences in this area leads her to choose Sustainable fashion as her major practice. Her upcycling and alteration of clothing is not only beneficial to the environment, but it also contributes to her creativity in a form of sustainability.


Moreover, combining her hobbies of sketching and fashion has transformed them into a source of income and a way to enjoy her leisure time and creativity.
