With Mae Design

A multidisciplinary Filipina educator, artist, and storyteller


A practice rooted in curiosity and connection

My work brings together storytelling, education, and art. Across these practices, I’m interested in how ideas are shared, how stories shape our understanding, and how creative work can foster meaningful connections.

About Jess Mae (she/her)

As an educator, artist, and communications specialist, I believe in the power of storytelling to connect people. My work is rooted in community care and an ongoing, actionable commitment to anti-colonial and feminist practice. I find joy in bringing people together, fostering meaningful connections, and creating spaces for collective learning and care.

I'm completing my Master of Education in Educational Leadership & Policy at OISE, expanding my skills in research, leadership, and policy work.

I co-founded Tanim Collective, offering the first free Filipino language‑learning, history, and culture program at the Hamilton Public Library.
