Speakers
Nikki Santos-Ocampo, Creative Consultant, she/her, @northwhitespecs
Nikki Santos-Ocampo is a freelance creative consultant based in Manila working in advocacy-driven organizations geared towards Philippine development. Using creativity as a means for raising awareness and edu-cation, she works towards tying several seemingly irrelevant industries together towards growth on a national scale.
Working in the start-up and non-profit sectors, she learned that it is collaboration, not competition, that is necessary in elevating professions such as creativity when questioned for its benefits or viability.
Her ultimate goal is to build the Philippines up on the global stage, as well as define what it means to be a contemporary Filipino/x through the creatives she meets.
