Juwan Baring Email & Phone Number

JOHN "JUWAN" DEXTER BARINGPrincipal Interior DesignerJuwan has been immersed in the world of interior design for 10 years. After graduating with a degree in Interior Design at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines in 2011, he worked as a junior designer at Grupo Santamaria Interior Designers, and shortly got promoted as material and design concept director.In 2013, he ranked 5th place in the Interior Designer Licensure Exam, started doing freelance work, and established VERO a year later. A discerning and empathetic designer, Juwan believes that great design fosters positive emotions and tells a story. It speaks, it communicates, it flows, and it moves. Ultimately, great design intends to make lives better and more comfortable, solving both tangible and intangible problems.Juwan’s passion extends to molding young minds and future designers. He taught design in PUP (2014 – 2015), Mapua University (2014 – 2019), and De La Salle – College of Saint Benilde (2016 – 2020), and in ArcStudio Review Center (2016) in Cebu.As an educator, he desires to educate more people on the importance of livable designs and correct the misconception that interior design is only for the rich. On the contrary, good interiors aim for practical, sustainable, and timeless design solutions. Thus, his designs are always reflective of his clients’ needs, welfare, and yes, even budget.Although knowledgeable in different styles and trends, he personally prefers minimalistic and functional design styles along the lines of Bauhaus, Scandinavian, and Japanese minimalism. He finds beauty in simplicity, practicality, and functionality.Juwan dreams of championing Filipino design to the world – a style that considers our climatic, topographic, and geographic conditions and limitations and incorporating the unique Filipino culture, arts, and character into the design.
