Inspiring creativity and
courage —one story at a time.
From giving herself permission to dream, the chance to explore her creativity, Phephe speaks from her heart to inspire the next generation.
An ARTreptenuer – Inspirational Speaker – Passionate Doodler
who turned a childhood love of drawing into not one, not two, but three creative businesses.
She has built a meaningful career by following her creativity through every pivot—earning a degree in architecture from USC, designing brands for entrepreneurs, illustrating stories, and becoming a licensed architect. At every step, creativity has guided her path.
Today, Phephe speaks to inspire the next generation of creatives—especially young women and artists of color—to dream big, build bold, and embrace their creative calling. As a first-generation college graduate and a proud Mexican and Filipina creative, she knows what it’s like to not see yourself represented in your field. Her mission is to show young people that their ideas matter, their art holds value, and that there is more than one way to succeed in the creative world.
Through storytelling, lived experience, and tangible takeaways, Phephe empowers audiences to reconnect with their creativity and trust the possibilities it opens up. Because creativity doesn’t have to be sidelined to hobbies. With confidence, courage, and the right guidance, a creative life is not only possible—it’s powerful. Because creativity isn’t a side hustle. It’s a superpower.
Book Phephe to speak at your school, conference, or creative event—and empower your audience to dream boldly, embrace their creativity, and take action.
