Barkada Circle®


At Barkada Circle®, we have mastered the art of visual storytelling for nonprofits. We translate your story into a visual brand and shape a compelling message that grabs the attention of your audience. We blend color, imagery and typography to create your unique visual language.

Whether introducing a potential donor to your nonprofit, promoting an event or keeping members engaged, your communication materials must amplify your story in a cohesive way.

Client Story:
“I was first drawn to Pon by his indefatigable energy in the networking arena. So when the opportunity arose for me to hire him to create the corporate identity for my new venture I jumped at the chance. He not only listens, he hears; and as a marketing professional who has worked with creative directors for over 20 years I know the difference. As a business serving cancer patients and survivors it was critical that my logo, business cards and brochure capture the emotion of what Second Act represents, as well as clearly and succinctly presenting the business proposition. Pon's creations have done that beautifully.”
– Pattie Cagney Sheehan, Second Act Chicago

Barkada is a Filipino word that means "best friends". In this spirit, we aim to develop strong, long term partnerships with mission-driven organizations, such as foundations and associations, that work toward improving people’s lives in the communities they serve.
