Manny Cortez

After years of freelancing as a graphic designer, Manny made the transition to web development and design in 2018. Since then, he started his one-man creative agency, Manny Cortez Studios, and has worked with dozens of clients and global brands such as Alston & Bird, Minute Media, and Lost Women of Science Podcast. He’s also worked with multiple digital marketing agencies as a white-label web developer and UI/UX designer specializing in Webflow.

Before diving into the tech and design space, Manny was an abstract expressionist painter and was represented by several fine art galleries such as Muse & Co Fine Art, Lagerquist Gallery, and Gallery Seven in Atlanta, Georgia. He received his first gallery contract shortly after graduating from Valdosta State University with his BFA in Studio Art and Graphic Design.

In his free time, he enjoys cooking and playing piano and bass. He’s also a leader of a 200-member think tank group specializing in crypto trading and developing projects on the blockchain.
