I’m Manuel, a senior creative with 6+ years of experience in healthcare/pharma. I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Advertising and Branding from the Savannah College of Art and Design, along with an Associate of Applied Science in Business Administration. I’m deeply invested in continuously growing my craft, pulling inspiration and learning from everywhere, whether that’s formal education, hands-on experience, or my go-to 24/7 creative mentors YouTube and TikTok.

I’ve worked across both HCP and DTC accounts, for both Global and U.S., partnering closely with Strategy, Account, and Copy teams to bring thoughtful, insight-driven ideas to life. I began my career collaborating on a Digital Therapeutic brand, which gave me a strong foundation in navigating complex, regulated spaces. Since then, my experience has expanded across Dermatology, Rheumatology, and Mental Health, where I’ve developed work that balances clinical accuracy with human-centered storytelling. My expertise spans Art Direction for digital, print, and out-of-home experiences, but I’m also well-versed in designing for medical conventions, from large-scale booth environments to interactive displays and supporting materials. I also enjoy leading and contributing to brainstorming sessions, shaping creative concepts, and helping ideas evolve into fully realized 360 campaigns.

Outside of work, creativity still plays a big role in my life. You’ll usually find me digging through vinyl bins, adding to my ever-growing record collection, or catching my favorite artist at a live concert whenever I can. At home, I’m kept busy by my cat-children, Cosmo and Wanda, who run the household. And for my star gazers out there, I’m a Capricorn sun, Cancer moon, and Aries rising.
