Hi, I’m Manuel. A senior creative with over a decade of experience in advertising, including six years focused in healthcare (and the rest spent being successfully advertised to). 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, partnering closely with Strategy, Copy, and Account 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 helped develop work that balances clinical accuracy with human-centered storytelling. My expertise spans Art Direction for web, print, and out-of-home experiences, but I’m also particularly experienced 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 early 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.
