About Me

Design Manager and graphic designer at FBC
Hi my name is Jay Laya and I am an information designer based in Calgary. I was born in the Philippines and since been a Canadian citizen for 11 years. The transition from the hot tropical weather to chilling Rocky Mountain winter had definitely been such an adventure, but I can honestly say I am now a true Canadian.
