Her journey in the world of creativity began with a degree in Fine Arts from FEU Manila, specializing in Advertising Arts, a foundation that would later prove invaluable in her artistic endeavors. Following her academic pursuits, Mhernamelle embarked on a three-year journey into the corporate world, but her heart always yearned for the canvas and the vivid world of colors.
