This Is More Than a Studio — It’s a Story Reborn

Designiverse+ Studio didn’t start in a boardroom or a brainstorm. It began in a moment of deep silence—after loss, after pain, after the world shifted. In 2023, I lost my mother. Not long after, I lost my ability to walk properly—sidelined by a back injury that took me away from a 15-year career. What do you do when everything you thought defined you disappears? You start again. You build something honest. You tell the truth. Designiverse+ Studio is that truth. It’s a platform for creators who’ve been overlooked. For visionaries who’ve had to rebuild from nothing. For those who know that creativity isn’t just pretty—it’s powerful, messy, healing, and disruptive. We’re here to amplify the voices the world isn’t hearing enough of. Not because they’re loud, but because they’re real. This blog will be our digital journal—a space where we share not just stories, but the energy behind them. Sometimes it’ll be personal. Sometimes it’ll spotlight someone else. Always, it will be human. If you’re here, you’re part of it. Welcome to Designiverse+ Studio. This is just the beginning. — Rolando Jr. Pepano Founder, Creative Director
