Available to hire
Hi, I’m Naho Montaño, a multidisciplinary designer and visual storyteller. Since 2020 I’ve run an independent practice and project-based work under Joyitas Rainbow, where I manage social media content, produce video content, and design handmade accessories from polymer clay and resin. I enjoy turning ideas into engaging visuals and communities online through storytelling and hands-on craft.
I studied design at UNAM and completed an academic exchange in Film and Audiovisual Media at UC Berkeley. I’m passionate about fashion, art, cinema, stop-motion, puppet making, and creating expressive visuals across social platforms, publications, and productions.
