Hello! 

I’m José Manuel, a multidisciplinary creative from Oaxaca, México, with a B.A. in Communication from USC Annenberg and a minor in Communication Design from USC Roski.

Rooted in the Zapotec community of Teotitlán del Valle, my work is shaped by culture, identity, and storytelling. I approach design as a way to build spaces that feel intentional, inclusive, and culturally grounded—blending visual expression with narrative and community.

My practice spans communication, design, and cultural strategy, with a focus on marketing, social media, public engagement, and entertainment.
