Kirk Tefora

Hello!

I'm Kirk Tefora.

A creative based in the Philippines with 15 years of experience as an Art director in GMA Network. I have a multimedia arts degree with a passion for design, animation and illustration.

I am also largely responsible for the fresh rebrand of the award-winning shows like Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, AHA!, Biyahe ni Drew, Taste Buddies, Barangay LS 97.1 Tugstugan na! Royal Blood series, Bolera, Daig Kayo ng Lola Ko and GMA Films.

Having a passion for creativity and collaboration, we won the Bronze award in the prestigious New York festivals for TV/Film last 2018 and 2019 Finalist ( Graphic Design category). First win of the Philippines in that category.

As an art director, I have been invited several times to review student's work as a panelist in my school at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde. In addition, I was recently invited to share my knowledge and experience through zoom by Department of Social Welfare Development (COSMOCon) for its annual design conference.

To greatly expand my knowledge and skills, I attended talks like Graphika Manila ( inviting the most creative talent/studio in the industry globally), Icon Manila (having the best of the best artist in film and animation), Animahenasyon ( a well-known animation festival in the Philippines), Canva and Facebook talk.

In my downtime, I love to hike, bike with friends, watch films/series/animes/documentaries, read history books and play video games. I enjoy listening to various type of music like Beatles, alternative, indie, rock and classical.

I believe in the power of good storytelling and letting yourself to explore various types of projects as you go along.
