Hi, my name is Manuela, a colombian multidisciplinary designer and art director with a strong focus on visual storytelling, editorial design and brand narratives. My work blends creative strategy and art direction to create elevated visual worlds across print, digital, social and video platforms, particularly within fashion, culture and lifestyle media.

After living in three different cultures, the main constant in life is: observing. The act of staying in one place and simply watching things unfold. The best source of inspiration comes from placing the eyes where they first feel uncomfortable and then amazed.
Loving consistency in a messy way. Building visual narratives by making imperfection and rawness the core of everything. Always on a never-ending road of learning and unlearning, shaped by a multidisciplinary creative mind. Trusting slow processes, while still believing in making things happen as better versions of the process arrive.
Deep, critical, and adaptable.
That’s me.
I have a thing for coffee,
blue, nature, circles, clouds,
and dogs.
