Mari Arquiza
 

I'm a freelance web designer and graphic designer, practicing Oracle worker, visual artist, rock photographer and avid Angelina Jolie fan.

I take pride in the fact that I excel in the areas of design AND software development which I find interesting. Which is not weird really since aside from my formal education in the arts I was also a science scholar at the PSHS. I took up Statistics in college but later shifted to Fine Arts and became a minimalist painter (ang labo, 'no?).

I made my first website 7 years ago. I started out as a graphic designer cum web designer with ABSI and then got temporarily sidetracked when I was tapped to join the team that developed the company's insurance brokerage system ang telco billing system using Oracle. I also developed the spin-off systems for reinsurance and loans monitoring. After 3 years of Oracle labor I returned to web designing and formed Arquiza.Com, a Philippine-based web service agency offering web site design, publishing and maintenance services.

Pisay, Stat, exhibiting artist, government employee/museum worker at the CCP, graphic designer, photographer, web slave, programmer -- now freelance web designer. And let's not put all that IT experience to waste! I also offer consultancy services for Oracle, networking, messaging (email), proxy and internet connectivity.
