Manu Molina
I am a strategic designer focused on creating and improving experiences through any necessary means. I enjoy challenges and I am always daydreaming about the next personal or professional project I will undertake.
My teachers are escaping from reality and the stories from around the world through all mediums.
I firmly believe that to truly dream, we have to be aware of our surroundings, otherwise we will never know if what we dream is a reality.

Cocoa Lovers brand identity
Brand design Design process
This design project was born out of the need for an online presence for a new entrepreneurial brand, whose sales were mostly limited to personal contacts with the founders. The challenge was to create a strong and consistent brand identity that could help expand the brand's reach beyond its immediate network. In addition to designing the brand's visual identity, the project also involved developing content guidelines and using social media tools, specifically Facebook and Instagram, to build and engage with a broader audience.

This project stemmed from the need to establish an online presence for a brand that was born from an entrepreneurial venture, as most of its sales were limited to customers who had the founders' personal contact information, severely limiting the brand's reach.
Final results
In addition to designing the new brand identity, we also developed guidelines for creating content and utilizing the tools provided by social media platforms, specifically Facebook and Instagram. This enabled the brand to expand its online reach and connect with potential customers more effectively.

This project was born from the need to improve the dining experience at Delikat, a restaurant that was struggling to attract and retain customers. Through a thorough analysis of primary and secondary sources, we identified several shortcomings in the restaurant's service and ambiance that were deterring customers from visiting. 1 3 5
New experience. Concept and space "Vinoteca". New visuals. Follow-up plan.
Final results
Starting from an analysis of both primary and secondary sources, it was concluded that Delikat was not providing good service or an experience that would encourage customers to visit. The proposal aimed to improve the overall customer experience, from the ambiance of the restaurant to interactions with the staff and interactive elements such as table centerpieces.
Final results
Additionally, it was proposed to open a "vinoteca" to take advantage of the untapped potential of their extensive wine cellar, which is currently restricted to the public. The project also aimed to improve the existing event proposals to create a refreshing and unifying experience for customers.
