Miguel Ripoll
Digital, net-art and AI pioneer since 1999 | Visual Artist | Technologist | Writer.
"Manuel possesses a unique combination of superb technical skill, wild creative flair, award-winning design ideas, and the down-to-earth, brief-led discipline that comes from over a decade of working on high-profile projects for global brands both in Europe and in the US.
I have known Manuel for many years, and had the great luck to collaborate with him on two occasions. He not only delivered (and how!), but was a joy to work with. He can be very chilled out whilst under pressure, without losing focus at all, which when working within a team and for a big corporate client is a very strong advantage indeed.
No wonder he is considered one of the best in the business. I cannot recommend him enough. A huge talent and a great guy."

"I had the pleasure of working with Manuel on our Coca-Cola Dreamworld project where his 3D rendering and world building skills were put to the test. I was blown away by his ability to bring our project to life in a way that exceeded all expectations - some of the visualisations literally came out of his dreams. (Icon behaviour). His attention to detail made the final product world class and truly stand out. He managed to elevate our project to insane heights, I cannot wait to work with him again. I highly recommend Manuel!I had the pleasure of working with Manuel on our Coca-Cola Dreamworld project where his 3D rendering and world building skills were put to the test.

"Manuel is a delightful creative mind to collaborate with. It was always a joyful experience when we’d get on calls to review updates to the content his team was creating with my team’s creative direction. It truly was a collaborative effort! I would 100% work with Manuel again if the opportunity arises!"
George Alexander
Founder & Company Director at WeareSeventeen.
"Manuel is a stellar Creative Director and I remain humbled that he was one of our team for 6 months this year. His imagination and vision is inspiring and infectious, and his passion for creative perfection is relentless. Experienced enough to work on big briefs for big clients that need big ideas, while having the humility to apply his amazing mind to smaller projects too. How Manuel articulates and translates his creative visions into relatable and robust ideas is highly impressive, as is his ability to charm and persuade his clients while also being generous enough to listen to their ideas, hopes or concerns and weaving this into his creative thinking.
As well as Creative Direction on client projects Manuel has a great understanding of the industry and applied his experience to our company positioning and was a huge source of insight and expertise on a business level.
Looking forward to working with Manuel again before too long :-)"

Andrea Conyard
Head of Accenture Interactive Studios - South East Asia @ Accenture Interactive | Marketing BA
"Manuel is by far one of the most talented creatives that I have been lucky enough to work with. He has a beautiful creative mind (just not the face to go with it). He is also more importantly one of the nicest and most humble people you could meet (which is rare in our creative industry today) and I’m happy to call him a good friend.
We came together when I first set up gyro in Singapore and he was my partner as we built the agency up over 2 years. His amazing ability to get to the route of a clients problem and come up with ideas that transcend mediums was a key part of the growth. He had the ability to be both a strategic business partner and a creative partner due to his experience of running his own business in the past and being a CD. No brief was to big or small for him to always come up with be most effective and creative solution for. As we both agreed the heart of any agency or team was the culture you create to support them which was what we created in gyro and helped fuel our growth. An area he would always downplay was his strength and ability to create innovative digital solutions. He would never want to be limited to just digital but with his background working with nike, xbox and with the work we did at gyro he brings a rare approach to creating innovative and relevant digital experiences, products and solutions."

Stas Udotov
Head of Design at D.Workz Interactive
"We have worked with Manuel for the last five years.
Throughout this time he proved to be a great, reliable design partner. Together, we've carried out extremely challenging projects. One of our design challenges lies in the fact that our client base is extremely diverse. Manuel has shown that he can systematically analyze the needs of our clients, understand their target audiences and help us design state of the art web-based products. As part of our partnership we worked on a range of projects that include different websites, as well as highly interactive Flash-based and mobile applications. Over the course of our work with Manuel we've seen a significant growth in our design quality, as well as in the number of clients. I would strongly endorse Manuel Camino as a highly
capable, creative and professional design partner."

Dylan Alling
Process & Comms consultant bridging Strategy and Creation
"So here's a guy who can fly in from Malaga at 8 a.m., take the briefing at 9, sit down with a cup of coffee at 10 and at 10.01 start spewing fantastic and relevant (!) ideas until the world runs out of ink. In addition to that, he then follows it up with eye popping design skills. Amazing.
The project we worked on was tight, very tight. In timing, budget and client/agency relationship. But we made it work thanks to Manuel's ability to hit the ground running and his flexibility to incorporate the client's whims (and mine!) without losing the essence of the concept or the quality envisioned.
A thrill to work with. The sooner we can work together again, the better."
