Zandro Tumaliuan is a Vancouver-based interior designer with a strong background in architecture. His professional work and travels have allowed him to experience and document architecturally significant structures worldwide. With a keen eye for design and detail, he records his journeys in his ever-present sketchbook, using a portable kit to capture scenes on the go.

Recently, Zandro published his first coffee table book, Travelogue Sketches, a visually captivating collection of sketches from various countries and continents. His work highlights the beauty of urban landscapes, historic landmarks, and architectural details, offering a glimpse into different cultures through his artistic perspective.

For Zandro, sketching is more than just an artistic practice—it is his way of visually translating ideas, memories, and spatial experiences using conventional tools. He brings structures to life through ink and watercolour, preserving moments of his travels in expressive and dynamic compositions.
