Stanley Ruiz was born and raised in Manila. Philippines. Growing up, he played in several punk and experimental bands in the 90′s. He eventually studied Industrial Design and has since fused this love for musical improvisation with his passion for design.
His work espouses an unusual material aesthetic and a raw feel derived from a deep interest and devotion to traditional handicrafts. As a transcultural designer, he takes inspiration from the culture of his native country and applies this element as an interference to Western material archetypes.
