Let's take a quick sneak peak back to our cultural roots with none other than FILIOLOGY co-founder, Gwendolyn Torres! In this episode, we talk about native art, sustainable culture, and rediscovering an appreciation for local weavers.   

ABOUT THE GUEST 

Gwen has diverse experience from multiple industries in Silicon Valley, USA and Metro Manila, Philippines: education, real estate, venture capital, property management, telecom, retail, defense and architecture. The majority of her experience comes from marketing in various fields, particularly in the field of school architecture, where her love for design, psychology, technology, engineering, community relations, environmentalism and entrepreneurship converged. Her experience with architecture has lead her to venture towards running her own businesses and working with various non-profits, start-ups and social enterprises, including Filiology.  Her specialty has been diving deep into company or even industry-wide operations & marketing to find the authentic voice and unique value proposition for each of the industries/companies she has worked with and communicating these messages through multiple channels using her skills in writing, photography, analytics, video content creation, graphic design, and even space design. This enables an entity/industry to solidify their strategies from backend operations to front-facing digital and brick & mortar spaces.
