In 1978, Yñiguez and writer Alfred A. Yuson designed the "Handumanan" yearbook of the University of St. La Salle in Bacolod at the invitation of future filmmaker Peque Gallaga. By the early 1980s, Yñiguez served as a creative collaborator of filmmaker Kidlat Tahimik for documentary projects commissioned by West German television, among which was the 1981 short film Olympic Gold (later re-edited by Tahimik into the feature-length film Turumba in 1983). As an artist, Yñiguez is based in Baguio.
