hi, i’m manuela

(she/her)

I’m a Latina artist determined to leave a footprint of beauty on the world. As an avid advocate for diversity, inclusion, and accessibility, I want to create a safe and open environment to all. It’s all about advocating with rather than for - while spreading beauty.

“Making the world beautiful-ler”

This is a motto that I live by.

BEAUTIFUL + FULLER = BEAUTIFUL-LER
Whatever I do and wherever I go, I strive to leave a trace of beauty and fullness behind.
