Filipina designer, artist and educator, Ara Laylo returns with her unique style. As the designer of the Filipino American History Warrior logo, she was asked to design the baseball jersey this year.
Embedding the original H warrior logo weave pattern in “Hawaii” took artistry and precision. Her work stands at the intersection of visual communication, cultural identity, and community. Maraming Salamat and Mabuhay Pag-ibig Ara Laylo ✨
