"Juana" is a playful pseudonym thoughtfully crafted by the author's friends, combining a creative translation of her real name with a clever reference to her profession as an architect.
Jean is a seasoned architect with over 15 years of experience and a proud member of the United Architects of the Philippines. In 2020, she took a significant step in her career by opening her own office, DUX3, located in the southern Philippines.
In 2025, driven by a passion for nurturing the next generation, Jean began teaching as a part-time college instructor, mentoring aspiring architects and leaving a lasting impact on the profession she loves. While she is deeply proud of her role as an architect, Jean holds several other qualifications, including being a registered master plumber, a real estate broker, and a master in business management—though she humbly prefers to be known simply as "architect."
