Anna Velas-Suarin – ESG Professional, Author, & Artist

Hello, CHANGEMAKER.

Let’s collab so we can build

A MORE RESILIENT WORLD

What’s on your Page One?

What is the LEGACY that you wish to leave behind?

As an ESG professional, I support VISIONARIES and

CHANGE MAKERS like you

through high-impact program design and management,

policy making, knowledge and communications, and

capacity development.

I worked with more than 27 projects/programs and TA/ loan packages, many of which are supported by MDBs, DFIs, bilaterals, and other international organizations.

I completed Master of Environment and Natural Resources Management, Diploma in Architectural Conservation and Historic Preservation, and BA Development Studies.

My master’s thesis, which looked at the possibility of building Sky Bike Lanes in Metro Manila, measured the likely impacts of the infrastructure in terms of traffic and carbon emissions reduction. If you want to know more about this study, please go to this link.

Embodying and celebrating our Oneness, I also support the collective as a gaia-soul integration coach, artist, reiki healer, photographer, and interior design student.

Three beautiful words are at the heart of my guiding philosophy—hiraya, ikigai and meraki. Ikigai allows us to live joyfully and mindfully while meraki reminds us to fulfill our mission and vision (hiraya) with a sense of purpose and gratitude. From this philosophy, there is an invitation toward self-mastery and fulfillment while committing to a vision larger than one’s self.

In every work that I do, I often draw inspirations from the creative side, allowing me and my team fresh and out-of-the-box ideas (or even burn-the-box perspective, as the situation warrants!).

Committing to work with you means believing in your mission and organization.

That, together, we can do good. I look forward to hearing more about your story—

and how I may support you in leaving your most important legacy.

Ready to rock n’ roll and

CHANGE THE WORLD?

Let’s start here.

Arts fuel creativity and innovation.
