Giselle Manzano Ramírez is a Colombian designer and artist based in Brooklyn. As a child, she was always creative, excelling in art at school and designing for friends and family from a young age. She went on to study graphic design and visual communication, and later fell in love with fashion in New York City. She then started redesigning her own clothes before going on to become a fashion stylist and curator.

Since then, Giselle has combined her love for both graphic design and fashion to design window displays, visual merchandising, lookbooks, branding, and advertising for vintage fashion boutiques. Through working with ReFashion Week 2020, she collaborated with the NYC Department of Sanitation and DonateNYC, and has given conferences and workshops at Pratt Institute, among others. As a graphic designer, her clients include Condé Nast, Candy Pratts Price (Vogue), and the Colombian Embassy in NYC. She also collaborates with emerging artists as part of her mission to empower people through fashion.
