Manuel Figueroa
Manuel is a visual designer and motion graphics artist, bridging the gap between Motion, Branding & Visual Storytelling for Entertainment, Gaming & Digital Experiences — currently working at NBC Universal - Telemundo.
I’m a multidisciplinary creative designer with over a decade of experience bringing stories to life across entertainment, gaming, and digital media. My work blends motion design, branding, and visual storytelling to build experiences that connect audiences and drive engagement.
From shaping brand identities and campaigns for global networks like Telemundo, to creating fan-driven projects like ZED-kit.com for Killing Floor, I thrive where creativity meets community. I’m passionate about crafting visuals that inspire. Whether it’s a cinematic logo reveal, a dynamic motion graphic, or a full-scale digital brand rollout.
I value collaboration, innovation, and the power of design to elevate both product and story. Always learning, always building, and always aiming to create work that’s not just seen but felt.
When not designing, I love to dedicate time to in-person charity events and children’s hospital visits, with community service events as a member of the 501st Legion.
