About — The Bloomery

Our story

Where the name comes from.

A bloomery is a furnace — a place where raw ore goes in and refined metal comes out. We think that's a pretty honest description of what we do.

Ira brings the raw energy: racing thoughts, bold ideas, and the design instincts to make them real. Bryan brings the clarity: he takes those ideas and refines them into something workable, organized, and ready to ship.

Together, we've worked at a voice acting studio, built content systems, managed clients, and learned how to function as a team under real pressure. Our boss once told us she could see how in sync we were. That's when we knew we had something worth offering.

"Raw ideas, refined together."

Meet the duo

Two people, one seamless team.

Ira is a Multimedia Arts graduate based in Manila with 3+ years of experience in graphic design — specializing in music, eSports, and entertainment. She's worked as a creative head, social media manager, community manager, and freelance designer, with experience leading visual identity from concept to execution.

She's the idea engine: fast-thinking, visually sharp, and always working out how to make something better than it needs to be. When she's not designing, she's building content systems, writing copy, or dreaming up the next thing.

Bryan is the calm to Ira's storm. With 2+ years of experience supporting global brand campaigns and cross-functional teams, he's the person who takes the moving pieces and turns them into a clean, working system.

He's managed executive workflows at a global ad agency, coordinated on-site logistics for Lenovo Philippines product launches, handled 15+ artist clients as a freelance manager, and built operations systems at a Philippine entertainment studio — all while staying fully remote-ready across US, UK, and AU time zones.

How we work

Things we actually believe.

We care about your work

We treat every project like it matters — because to you, it does. No templates, no copy-paste, no phoning it in.

We communicate clearly

No ghost zones, no vague updates. You'll always know where things stand and what comes next.

We move fast but stay precise

Speed is great. Speed with quality is better. We don't sacrifice one for the other.

We're a real team

Not two strangers working separately. We've built a working dynamic and our clients feel the difference.

We stay in our lane

Ira handles creative. Bryan handles ops. You get focused expertise in both areas, not diluted generalism.

Details matter to us

The small things add up. We notice them so you don't have to go back and fix them later.

We're The Bloomery.
