Hey, I’m Allard Lavaritte
Hey, I’m Allard Lavaritte. I’m a digital artist and illustrator based in Davao City.
I’ve been making art—sketches, paintings, digital pieces—for over a decade. No art degree, no fancy studio. Just repetition, curiosity, and the need to build something real.
I studied Computer Science, started out as a web developer, and used my first paycheck to buy a Wacom Intuos Pro. That’s when I knew I had to return to painting. One sketch at a time, I did.
These days, I wear a few hats. I work in marketing (SEO is my thing), I still code, and I built this site from scratch. It’s made for people like me—people with too many ideas, too many tabs open, and no plan to slow down.
Outside of work, I train for triathlons, build websites, and spend too much time in the gym. For me, creativity and discipline go hand in hand—and this space is where I share both. Whether you’re here for the artwork, the tutorials, or the messy process behind it all, I’m glad you found your way here.
Why I Built This Site
This isn’t just a portfolio or blog. It’s a toolkit. A space for artists, coders, writers, and restless makers figuring it out as they go.
I made this to:
- Show that with practice and the right systems, you can turn a passion into real work
- Share what’s worked for me in drawing, design, and staying motivated
- Break down the real mechanics of SEO, marketing, and building a creative brand
