John Vigilia is an interior designer based in Metro Manila Philippines. He studied BS Interior Design at the University of Philippines Diliman where he graduated cum laude. Fresh from passing the licensure for interior designers, he joined Budji + Royal Design Architects.

His skills were further honed, through a breadth of experience in handling high-end residential and commercial projects, directly under the tutelage of accomplished architect Royal Pineda and world renowned designer Budji Layug. After 6 years, and reaching the position of Sr. Interior Designer, it was time to start a new chapter.  John put up his own firm, and debuted as an independent designer by coming out in a feature of Elle Decoration Philippines (March 2014 cover, "Urban Ease").  Right after, he was featured in multiple issues of Real Living magazine through its featured homes and makeovers. Consequently, he was included in the said magazine's list of "25 Creatives to Watch" (July 2014).

His design aesthetic is using materials that are natural in finish as much as possible, but if factors prohibit, then he goes to what looks natural.  Clean lines, subdued decoration but impactful.  He also goes for something visually arresting and larger than life if the circumstances are favorable.  John also goes for organic forms and textures.  He goes for the mismatched and imperfect pieces that add character to the space.  Plants are also his favorite accessories to make the space feel closer to nature.
