Hello, I’m an architect, designer, illustrator, and visual artist based in Parañaque City, Philippines.

I run my own design practice as Studio Regular Days.

I also currently serve as an instructor at the University of Santo Tomas, teaching architectural design and visual techniques at the College of Architecture.

Drawing inspiration from my experiences, influences, and background in architecture, I create varied works that tend to center on capturing the ambiance and subtleties in a moment and in a space, often translated through imagemaking, storytelling, and archiving.

RD Daniel
