Hello there!

 

I am Bryan, though my name has evolved over time. Some have called me Barj, others Noy, but what has stuck is Bards — and for good reason. In Celtic cultures, a bard is a professional storyteller who writes and recites epic poetry, music and drama. Sure, I am no Shakespeare or Jaskier from the TV series The Witcher, but I have a way with words and can carry a tune just fine.

 

Over the years, I have seen the power of writing to promote the public good. And this has become the cornerstone of my communication work: innovative storytelling, with the goal of building a better-informed society, and thus a freer society.

 

I share a passion for sports, culture, health and current events that impact the nation and the well-being of its people. So most of the work featured on this site centers around these topics. But I am a curious cat, and it would not be long before I add more to this list.

​

Now, let me share a bit about my background and experience.

 

I studied journalism at the University of the Philippines Diliman, graduating magna cum laude. At university, I pursued enterprise sports reporting at my college publication and wrote scripts for initiatives on media literacy, press freedom and social justice.

 

During my internships, I worked with brands like One Championship and Vermosa by Ayala Land, where I leveraged creative and collaborative writing to produce press releases, reports and social media content to enhance brand visibility and audience engagement.

 

When I am not writing, I enjoy reading, running and serving at my church. These activities require a different dose of commitment but are deeply rewarding. They remind me of how I have not given up on passions despite the demands of work.

 

That is it for now. If you resonate with authentic, insight-driven communication, let us connect and explore how I can bring value to your team!
