Let’s Make Something That Feels Like YOU

I've worn many hats over the years. I originally wanted a Computer Science Degree at the University of Guelph, but I switched into the Studio Art program. Once my wife Ariana started her career as a photographer I knew that the creative industry is where I wanted to be. After a few years doing wedding and boudoir photography, I decided it was time for another switch up. In 2021 I started to pursue design as a potential career.

The meaning of Hiraya

and how it inspires everything we do

Hiraya is an ancient Filipino word that translates to "the fruit of one's hopes, dreams, and aspirations", or "the power of the mind to create something which is non-existent". We hold this close to our hearts in every aspect of our branding work as we help you define the foundations of your branding. There is an old saying: "Hiraya Manawari" which figuratively means 'reach your dreams', and that's exactly what we're here to help you do!

How Hiraya reflects our brand vision

We chose this name because it reflects what we help our clients bring to life: the vision they’ve been carrying, the brand they’ve been dreaming of, the business they’ve always hoped to build. Every project we take on is a collaboration rooted in intention, emotion, and the belief that your dream deserves to be seen, felt, and remembered.

"I had put this off for as long as I can remember because I felt like it would be a daunting task and with the help of [Hiraya] it was enjoyable and exciting! I highly recommend Hiraya and all their services to complete the face of your business and brand."
