Background

About Manuela Sanchez

Hi! I'm Manuela — a product designer with a love for thoughtful design, material exploration, and collaboration. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve worked across footwear, textiles, and accessories, blending creative direction with hands-on development to bring meaningful products to life. My approach is rooted in storytelling, craftsmanship, and sustainability. I’ve led product design for both women’s and men’s collections, worked closely with artisan communities, and directed everything from sampling to campaign production. I thrive at the intersection of creativity and strategy, and I’m always excited by opportunities that connect design with purpose. Currently based in Bogotá, I’m exploring new ways to merge branding, design, and community through my work.
