About

I’m a Graphic Designer with more than 10 years of professional experience creating visual communications for marketing, sales, retail, and consumer brands. My background includes branding, POS/POP, signage, digital design, promotional materials, and production, with a strong focus on turning ideas into clear, effective visual work. Portfolio: https://manuelmachado.work/

I spent nearly a decade working in-house for a wine and spirits distributor, collaborating closely with sales and marketing teams and managing projects from concept through production. I also have freelance experience and continue to develop my skills with digital design and AI-assisted creative tools.

I’ve always had an interest in using my creative skills to work with churches and ministries, but life and career took me in a different direction. At this point, I’m looking to make that shift and use the experience I’ve built as a designer to serve churches and ministries in a more meaningful way.

I’m passionate about good design, clear communication, and using creativity to help bring a vision to life. I’d love the opportunity to contribute those skills to a church or ministry that is making a positive impact.
