Establishing a Design Center of Excellence: a conversation with Adobe
MANILA, WHERE EAST MEETS WEST
Our global story meets Asia’s future
Manila marks a bold new chapter in our global story: our first step into Asia and a commitment to building world-class brands across borders. Since launching our studio here, we’ve found a city that mirrors our energy vibrant, determined and full of promise.
In the heart of Southeast Asia’s creative and digital economy, our Manila presence connects global vision with local excellence. It’s where systems thinking meets craft and where brand systems are brought to life.
Our team reflects the best of both worlds, blending DPDK’s strategic backbone with Manila’s creativity, adaptability and fierce momentum. We help ambitious brands grow with structure, scale with intent and resonate across cultures.
