Hi, my name is Emanuel Guillermo but everyone calls me Manny.

I’m a proud New Yorker, born and raised in the Lower East Side. I remember as a teenager riding my bike throughout the different neighborhoods and falling in love with the diversity and unique cultures. I guess you can say I was influenced into a life of design because variety of textures and colors.

In more than 20 years of working as a creative I assumed many different roles. From on the ground production to corporate branding. I began my career in my teens creating pixel designs of Precious Moments characters for my sister and her friends on Microsoft Window 98 Paint. Things have certainly changed since then.

Most of my career was managing and directing at Fairway Market. Throughout the years i’ve added some new skills to my tool-belt of abilities; such as photography, video editing, lighting and stage design, web design and many aspects of construction and carpentry.

I shifted my focus to illustration and production design but also started some more personal explorations in the field of interior design and carpentry/construction. I love to learn new skills and have always had the need to use my hands to create things whether they are in digital or physical format.

My goal in life is to be grateful, spread joy and speak love.
