Hi, I'm Manu. Design isn't just a job for me, it's a matter of the heart: branding, packaging and communication design — thoughtful, bold and happily
I combine conceptual strength with a feel for color and form.
Whether branding, packaging or concept: every design tells a story and makes brands unmistakably visible.
As a multidisciplinary creative, I move effortlessly between classic communication design, branding and packaging—and within that range, I find exactly the connections that make a brand feel cohesive. My particular strength lies in series design: I develop systems that hold an entire product family together while still allowing each individual piece its own character. Finishing is just as important to me—foil stamping, embossing, paper choice—because it’s in the details that a design becomes tangible. With Brazilian roots, I grew up right in the heart of the Rheinhessen wine region—a true Mainz local. Maybe it’s exactly this mix that explains my special passion for wine label design, where character, regional character and finishing come together as closely as in hardly any other discipline. Do you have a project that deserves its own signature? I’m looking forward to creating something unmistakable from it together with you.
