hello, i’m miguel de la garza multidisciplinary designer, creative and maker working as co-founder and partner at communal creating branding experiences and helping companies communicate their values through design. visit communal for more info.

throughout the years, design projects have demanded different skills and abilities from branding to interior design that I’ve been learning and putting to test resulting in holistic solutions for our clients. i have come to realize that curiosity and willing to learn something new is what drives me on my design career, never settle, instead look for new challenges and novel solutions.
