about janine


I am an individual who appreciates life, is joyful, introspective, and a bit quirky. I grew up shy, anxious, and extremely self-conscious. Being picked-on and always feeling different due to my personality and mixed ethnicities, I never felt like I fit in.

Having two diverse, beautiful Asian cultures (being Filipina and Indian (yes, from India)) and being Asian-American, I grew up with a slightly traditional and strict upbringing. I have my blessings and also struggle with an autoimmune disease, being overweight, an anxiety disorder, disability, and healing from my traumatic past.

What motivates me is to help others feel better about themselves and be empowered. Being in therapy for almost a decade, I am extremely fortunate to slowly heal old wounds and learn coping mechanisms to live a better life.

I hope to share my insights and essence with the world with the goal of helping others be their authentic selves, inspiring people to live their best life, and aiding people in their own healing journeys. I believe a huge part of the human experience is leaning on each other so we can learn more about who we are and add meaning to our lives. I have been very blessed to have several mentors and resources to have helped me get where I am today, and I couldn't have done it without them. I hope to pave the way forward by practicing being brave and learning from my mistakes.

Professionally, I am a graphic designer and content creator. I’m an extremely creative soul and I love storytelling. I am also a cat mom, huge gamer, and a big fan of planners, astrology, and nature. :)

It’s nice to meet you! Thank you so much for joining my journey and being part of our community, the everblooms!
