The eldest of the five siblings, Patsy started the unique brown paper stationery line
for papemelroti at a time when being environment-friendly was not as popular as it
is now. Today, she works full time for papemelroti, and continues to take care of
the stationery line. A graduate of Interior Design from the University of the Philippines,
Patsy describes herself as a frustrated artist because she wants to have more time for
design but is often busy with more practical office work. Her favorite techniques are
collage and crayola etching, which she says are most forgiving of mistakes. To visit

Christina (Tina) A. Alejandro
The youngest in the family, Tina started "working" with papemelroti
when she was 7 years old. At that time, she was already gift wrapping for customers, using
the floor as her table because the counter was too high for her to reach. Today, she makes
designs for a wide range of products, making illustrations for the stationery line and
sculpting original figurines. She often draws children, teddy bears, flowers and cats, her
favorite animals. Tina is in charge of designing personalized orders and also often
designs the papemelroti seasonal displays. To visit Tina's website, click here.
