International Visual Merchandiser / Design Consultant
D’oro Barandino, his first name means gold, and this is how he wants his creations to be considered, as precious as gold. He is a product designer, a visual merchandiser and design consultant with clients scattered around the world. D’oro has been designing for the longest time – aided by his background in architecture – but has only recently come out with his own brand of accessories which are exported all over the world.
His Passion
He has the knack for modern and current art. For D’oro, art can be found in the unlikeliest places – or perhaps the most ordinary circumstances — which explains his fondness for the peculiar and eccentric. This can be seen in the photographs that he takes in his free time. His great interest in philosophy and Kabbalah gives him a unique perspective from which to view the world – and thus, create works of art.
His Achievement
He considers his creative maturity as his achievement, thanks to his past experiences that broadened and developed his creative horizon.
Festive Personality
Cebuanos are naturally festive; this is why D’oro thinks Cebuanos are unsurprisingly grandiose and vivacious.
This Christmas, what does D’oro 
?
D’oro lives and breathes art. You can look no further than D’oro for creative and artistic uses of everyday objects. He recently won a CITEM Katha award during Manila F.A.M.E. for a line of bags using rubber bands.
