ABOUT MAYUMI

Hey there! I'm Mayumi "Yumi" Catabijan, a designer and artist-​maker enthusiast from the islands of the Philippines who ​currently calls Dallas, Texas, home. I've finely crafted my ​storytelling and design skills at Ateneo de Manila University ​and the University of the Philippines Diliman, blending ​narrative, research, and design to best create for the human ​experience. Along the way, I started and co-founded M ​Catabijan Production Designs and AA3 Design Studio, ​respectively, where I infused my innovative social impact ethos ​into every creation.


My designs, such as the innovative Mayumi Watch, Box Office, ​and Kleanr App, draw inspiration from a commitment to making ​a positive cultural, health, and environmental impact. I'm ​honored that these designs have received prestigious accolades, ​including the People's Choice Award at FD23 and a National ​Runner-Up recognition at the James Dyson Award 2020. We can ​spark change and create positive transformations within ​communities through thoughtful and impactful design.

My journey from volunteering with the Better Block Foundation ​to leading Project ReaDesign in the Philippines has profoundly ​shaped my design values. I've learned that collaboration and ​empathy are essential to creating meaningful human ​experiences.


As I start my new life in Dallas, I'm excited to work together ​with others, find inspiration from the various cultures in the city, ​and infuse my values of creativity, empathy, and innovation into ​its design scene. Beyond design, you'll catch me nurturing my ​garden, embracing new languages, sharing my artistic ​explorations on Instagram - @memodarte, and orchestrating ​lively events like Art in the Park Dallas. I'm excited about the ​future and can't wait to make something extraordinary with ​excellent collaborators like you!
