Mabuhay! I'm Zoe Lara Denise Lerin.
I design to
create.
inspire.
evoke.
create.
Hi there! I’m Zoe, an interdisciplinary graphic designer blending creative strategy, branding, and typography to craft purposeful, narrative-driven visual experiences.
With a strategic mindset, I curate every detail to create bold, meaningful designs that resonate and connect. Rooted in storytelling and intentional creativity, my work goes beyond aesthetics to evoke emotion and inspire action; bringing designs to life with clarity and impact.
Let’s create something that not only stands out but lives and breathes with meaning.
MORE ABOUT [ Me ]
Beyond my identity as a designer, I embody a spectrum of creative roles rooted in my first love: Art. Before embracing design, I was and remain an artist deeply passionate about exploring all forms of artistic expression. My curiosity extends beyond drawing and painting to include every medium that invites experimentation and discovery. I engage with art not just visually but intellectually, delving into the stories, processes, and meanings embedded within each piece. Whether it’s a painting, sculpture, ancient ruins, or any creative artifact, I seek to understand its deeper significance and how its existence resonates and inspires both in myself and the wider world.
I am also a devoted musician with a particular mastery of the piano. What began as a pastime has evolved into a vital practice that enriches my creative work across disciplines. Music sharpens my pattern recognition, memorization, and theoretical understanding—skills that I seamlessly integrate into my design and artistic process. This cross-pollination opens new pathways to innovation, allowing me to blend musical insights with unexpected ideas, sometimes harmonizing perfectly, and other times delightfully challenging conventions.
In the many roles I embody, I continuously seek to weave connections that bring purpose and synergy to each facet of my creative journey. The technical precision I honed through drafting informs my approach to experiential design, grounding abstract concepts in tangible reality. My understanding of music theory finds new expression within the rebranding project featured in this portfolio, illustrating how seemingly distinct disciplines converge to enrich my work. There is always more beneath the surface—layers of insight and skill that coalesce to create something truly multifaceted.
That is why I constantly push my boundaries, seeking meaning and inspiration from every experience. Whether riding the waves while surfing, carving through snow on a snowboard, or embracing other adventurous pursuits, I find new perspectives that fuel my creativity and growth.
Most importantly, I dedicate this portfolio to my family, whose unwavering support has been my foundation. While a portfolio reflects skills, values, and talents, I choose to chart a course of gratitude, acknowledging that every achievement represented here is deeply rooted in their love and encouragement. I owe this moment and all that it signifies to them.
They have taught me the invaluable lesson of connection and collaboration, principles that are essential not only within the design process but resonate at every stage and beyond the boundaries of design itself.
