The Blogger
I am print design and visual merchandising specialist. I work to provide creative and innovative graphic design and other visual arts solutions for retailers.
Making display props, setting up floor and window display, designing effective print designs – ranging from a small signage to a large vinyl wrap, doing product photography and maintenance of the visual impact of the store where I am currently working are only few to mention my present responsibilities.
I hold a Bachelor of Secondary Education – Mathematics Major from Davao del Norte State College, Panabo City, Philippines with five different Leadership Awards and I am continuing my study on Product Photography, Copywriting and Retail Management with emphasis on the impact of visuals to the shoppers.
Consider me as versatile, frugal, innovative and creative.
• Little Secret About My Name
I used the spelling J-A-Y-P-E-E from preschool to 1st year high school, until my teacher in 2nd year high school noticed that the spelling of my name in my birth certificate is “J-Y-P-P-E”.
My professor in English Communication course in college pronounced my first name as /jīp/, which sounds like Skype, hype, pipe and ripe. My professor in Developmental Reading also pronounced it differently. He pronounced it as /hip/, like hip, tip and nip. I prefer to hear and use the first pronunciation.
To avoid problems in terms of legalities, I was instructed to follow the spelling on my birth certificate and I do so, but my nickname remains as JP. This is the reason why my user name in social media is ‘jpquidores‘ and the profile name is Jyppe A. Quidores – the A stands for Alcon.

• My Blogging Venture
I started entering the blogosphere since July 2010 and have created many blogs as effect of my excitement in blogging until I have found my niche after few months of hopping from one blogging platform to another and writing anything and everything under the sun which I felt good talking about.
Though I have a little regret of having not a very good start in blogging, my learning from that experience is already a very good pay-off, and now I have the joy to maintain The Creativity Window.
I look forward that this blog could help you in any simple way.
