Adryan moved to New York from the Philippines in his youth. He eventually went to FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York to get a degree in Advertising and Graphic Design. He continued his studies at the University of the Philippines, College of Fine Arts for a degree in Studio Arts which gave him a very well rounded foundation in the arts.

He began working as a Graphic Artist for ABS-CBN Foundation specializing in the creation of sets and special effects in the production of children’s television programs. He eventually moved to Canada and became the Senior Artist/Desktop Publisher of Marketing for the Canadian head office of an insurance company in Markham. He then moved on to become the Art and Production Director for a print company in Toronto. After relocating to Prince Edward County, he took a position as UI/UX Graphic Designer for a software company in Belleville servicing the trucking industry. He is currently a Designer and Social Media Manager for a sign franchise in Stirling, Ontario.

Along the journey of his career path through the years, he participated in group exhibitions, accepted commissioned artworks and design projects. By the end of 2023, Adryan had his first solo art exhibit in Melt Studio Gallery in Base 31, Picton.

Prince Edward County opened up the opportunity for Adryan to continue his creative journey. The County provided him the proper workspace, necessary tools and supportive community for his artistic expression and exploration.
