Global creative icon Chris Do to hold masterclass on the business of design
Emmy Award Winner and International creative consultant Chris Do is set to fly to the country to hold a whole-day masterclass in the second day of CREATE Philippines 2018 on Sept. 22 and 23 at the Globe Tower, Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig.
“It’s official now! I’m going to be back in the Philippines!! Would love to see you there,” stated Do in a social media post.
CREATE Philippines aims to give the country a strong voice in the global discourse on the creative economy and make it a top-of-mind destination in the Asia-Pacific for creative content and services.
