Bio
Alexa Ermakova
As a Product Manager, I teamed up with Manuel on one of our most successful and profitable projects designing and launching new features for five different International markets. Manuel is a joy to have as a UI/UX partner! He is an exceptionally talented, knowledgeable, and dedicated designer who will go far and beyond to deliver thoughtful, well-research visual and experience solutions to customer pain points. His deep empathy towards customer needs and keen understanding of their journeys allow him to create solutions that truly move the needle. One of his strongest sides is conducting and deconstructing user research to develop solutions that employ the best visual and interaction practices and best visual information design and architecture. He is also a real team player who treats everyone with respect and can help all parties get on the same page. He is an excellent asset to any team he joins!

Manuel is outstanding to work with. He did a fantastic job with our logo and printed material. I get compliments constantly every time I hand out my business card. I would recommend him to anyone needing logo/graphic design as well as brand consulting. He really takes the time to research and understand what it is that you are trying to communicate.
