Hey, I’m AJ — designer, installer, and the person behind MRANDA Creative. I’ve been in this role for over 25 years, and if there’s one thing that’s never changed, it’s this: I’m obsessed with the why behind good design.
I’m a blend of intuitive and methodical. I like to dig into the facts, understand the story, and figure out what a brand is really trying to say before I ever touch a layout. Trends come and go, but clarity, simplicity, and intention always hold up. That’s the space I work in.
Design, for me, isn’t about chasing what’s “hot.” It’s about the evolution — how an idea forms in my head, how it shifts, how it starts to feel right. That moment when everything clicks? That’s what keeps me doing this.
I love creating brands for people who appreciate the craft. The ones who understand that design isn’t a template or a quick fix — it’s storytelling. It’s problem‑solving. It’s art with a job to do. When we work together, I’m here to guide the process, not just take orders. You bring the vision; I bring the experience, the strategy, and the execution.
MRANDA Creative is built on a simple idea: there’s no “I” in this studio because great work happens through collaboration. I bring the design and the hands-on craftsmanship — from digital branding to physical installs like vinyl graphics, signage, and custom wraps — and you bring your goals, your personality, and your trust.
If you’re looking for someone to nitpick every pixel or crowdsource your brand decisions to a committee, I’m probably not your guy. If you want a partner who cares about your story, who thinks deeply, works precisely, and delivers work that actually means something — then let's build something that feels true to you, stands out and lasts.

Hola, soy AJ — diseñador, instalador y la persona detrás de MRANDA Creative. He estado en este rol durante más de 25 años, y si hay algo que nunca ha cambiado, es esto: estoy obsesionado con el porqué detrás de un buen diseño.
Soy una mezcla de intuitivo y metódico. Me gusta profundizar en los hechos, entender la historia y descubrir lo que realmente intenta decir una marca antes de tocar cualquier diseño. Las tendencias vienen y van, pero la claridad, la simplicidad y la intención siempre se mantienen. Ese es el espacio en el que trabajo.
El diseño, para mí, no se trata de seguir lo que está "de moda." Se trata de la evolución: cómo una idea se forma en mi cabeza, cómo cambia, cómo empieza a sentirse bien. ¿Ese momento en que todo encaja? Eso es lo que me mantiene haciendo esto.
Me encanta crear marcas para personas que aprecian el oficio. Los que entienden que el diseño no es una plantilla ni una solución rápida — es contar historias. Es resolver problemas. Es arte con una tarea que cumplir. Cuando trabajamos juntos, estoy aquí para guiar el proceso, no solo para recibir órdenes. Tú traes la visión; yo traigo la experiencia, la estrategia y la ejecución.
MRANDA Creative se basa en una idea sencilla: no hay "i (yo)" en este estudio porque el gran trabajo se logra a través de la colaboración. Yo traigo el diseño y la artesanía práctica — desde el branding digital hasta instalaciones físicas como gráficos de vinilo, señalización y envolturas personalizadas — y tú traes tus objetivos, tu personalidad y tu confianza.
Si estás buscando a alguien que critique cada píxel o que delegue las decisiones de tu marca a un comité, probablemente no soy la persona adecuada. Si buscas un socio que se preocupe por tu historia, que piense profundamente, trabaje con precisión y entregue un trabajo que realmente signifique algo — entonces construyamos algo que se sienta auténtico para ti, que destaque y perdure.
