Meet Our Team Our Approach

Our Story in Palawan

Founded in 2020 in the heart of Puerto Princesa, DesignsVault emerged from a simple belief: Palawan businesses deserve world-class design that reflects the province's natural beauty and entrepreneurial spirit.

Our founder, Maria Santos, returned home after eight years at leading Manila agencies with a vision to create a studio that combines global design standards with deep local market understanding. She saw how local businesses were struggling with generic websites and brand identities that didn't resonate with their community.

What started as a two-person studio has grown into Palawan's premier design agency, serving over 150 local businesses from eco-tourism operators to digital startups. We've helped transform small family businesses into thriving brands while maintaining the authentic Palawan character that makes them special.
