everything*.

Manny seems to do everything*. Some might even say he’s a “jack-of-all-trades”, and while this is very true, there’s a lot more to it than just that. You see, he’s been in the marketing and design industry for over 10 years, working on every type of project you can imagine. So it goes without saying that…

he loves it. Seriously. 🖤

That might seem obvious at first but you should know this ahead of time- marketing and design consume his thoughts day and night. This is what he loves doing and he’s pretty good at it.

*Manny doesn’t do everything-everything, but he’s very good at what he does! 💯

Showreel 🍿

I'm all 🖤 when it comes to design, so if a picture's worth a thousand words than this video is worth....well a lot more. Check out this short showreel to get a taste of what I can create.

I have worked with Manuel on a couple of projects that had tight design timeframes. Even though Manuel had multiple concurrent projects, he was committed and on time with quality creative work. With his marketing background and by asking the right questions additional to the briefs, Manuel easily understood our company's requirements and was able to offer creative direction.

Manuel took a vague concept from a difficult brief and kept the client in the loop every step of the process. In the end produced an excellent design that has been used consistently and effectively for 5 events over the last 2 years. He is one of the best designers I have come across with this level of experience. He will rocket up in the creative industry.
