Studio
MM Estudio is an independent brand experience, spatial design and scenography practice led by Mariana M. Islas and Manuel Cuevas.
Based in Mexico City, the studio works with brands, agencies, creative teams and production partners across launches, retail environments, hospitality, live entertainment and culture.
Two perspectives.One shared practice.
Mariana M. Islas
Manuel Cuevas
Mariana M. Islas is an industrial designer trained at CENTRO, with postgraduate studies in Creative Coding.
Her perspective brings rigor, sensitivity and close attention to detail across every stage of a project. She is interested in how an idea becomes a coherent visual and spatial system — from its first conceptual gesture to the smallest decisions that shape how it is experienced.
Manuel Cuevas is an industrial designer trained at UAM, with a certificate in Production and Creativity from CENTRO.
His perspective combines spatial thinking, scenographic ambition and an ongoing interest in emerging technologies, including AI. He is drawn to testing new tools and translating them into experiences that expand creative possibility while remaining grounded in physical space and production reality.
Together, Mariana and Manuel lead every project from early creative definition through spatial design, visualisation and pre-production. MM can lead the complete process or join a specific phase, collaborating remotely with agencies and production teams while local partners develop engineering, fabrication and installation where the project takes place.
