Manuel A.

If having to describe myself in three words I would say: Culture, Abstract and Passionate. I have got to admit that if I were an animal, I would definitely be a squirrel. Ok, now let's get serious. I am a young and talented Graphic Designer with outstanding computer and manual design skills. I have been involved in graphic design for more than 3 years, focusing on different areas of the advertising/design industry. My experience has given me the ability to produce superior work on time to match or surpass the clients' expectations. I possess strong interpersonal skills to communicate my ideas clearly and provide/receive constructive criticism of work. I am skilled in conceptualizing and preparing artwork for concept meetings within small or large groups. I am also accustomed to working under large amounts of pressure since I understand my career revolves around a very complex, competitive and time managed industry. Spanish is my first language, but I have great English skills. I lived in Austin, Texas for several years where I was able to learn the language within an English-speaking environment. I am currently living in China, where I am also learning Mandarin and expanding my design knowledge to become into a graphic designer with a multicultural view. Specialties: My specialties include identity & brand development, web & digital media, print design & production, editorial design, packaging, illustration and photography.
