about [me]

Leila Karlene
Banta

Hi, I'm Leila, a graphic designer, illustrator, and digital/social media creative with an architecture background. I make things for pages, screens, and everywhere in between—designing with unique typography, bold visuals, and ideas that know how to hold your attention.

architecture → design

Two disciplines,one instinct.

Leila is a graphic and spatial designer freshly graduated from the Bachelor of Science in Architecture program at the University of the Philippines Diliman. She’s designed logos, visual identities, and merchandise for small businesses and personal clients since 2022, led operations, communications, publicity, and visual communications for UAPSA-UPD, and contributed advocacy design work for Gabriela Youth–UPD. She also builds 3D models and interior visualizations for architectural spaces, work that most graphic designers never get asked to do.
