MoreJuke is (designer, artist, editor, researcher) born and raised in Manila, Philippines, and now based in New York City. His practice moves across architecture, installation, object-making, and publishing, thinking through queerness and incompleteness as spatial and representational strategies for relation, softness, and possibility. Central to this work is kapwa, the Indigenous Filipino concept of “a recognition of shared identity, an inner self shared with others.” (Enriquez 1992)

Through spatial experimentation and assembled installations, Juke explores how community, culture, place, environment, and history remain entangled in the spaces we inhabit. Drawing from domestic, cultural, and environmental images, spaces, and objects, his work moves toward forms of care, shared interiority, and tenderness. His projects seek to hold collective histories while celebrating the beauty of our living.

Juke received a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia GSAPP, where he also served as a Graduate Research Assistant. In 2025, he founded Beside (B–SIDE), an experimental publication where he is Editorial Director. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the Academy of Art University, where his early work engaged questions of representation, community, and housing.

Previously, Juke worked as an architectural designer at Haddock Studio, contributing to residential and commercial projects including Baggu SoHo in New York City. In 2021, he founded Partial, his design and research practice, working through space, objects, furniture, and atmosphere. Through Partial, he directed the design and construction of Two Two, a gallery-shop in Oakland, California. His first artistic project was a public mural in San Francisco’s Excelsior District, depicting laundry spaces as sites of care and community. His installation Time Has Brought Us Together has been exhibited at Kearny Street Workshop and the San Francisco Main Public Library.
