Samantha Sumulong is a designer and illustrator of Philippine inspired editorial artworks and illustrations.
Her love for art developed as she grew up reading children’s illustration books and comics, playing video games, watching cartoons, and most of all, drawing things that make herself laugh. Through her Bachelors Degree in Architecture her talent for drawing was cultivated.
