Manuela Delgado is the founder and creative director of Beyond Creative Productions, a South Florida video production company specializing in high-end, story-driven content for businesses, brands, and cultural institutions. She oversees the storytelling, direction, and overall client experience, making sure every project reflects excellence and authenticity. Manuela founded the company in 2021 with a camera and no business background, having studied media and video editing rather than entrepreneurship, and learned to run a company by building one. Five years later, Beyond Creative Productions has delivered over 250 video production projects and scaled on word of mouth alone through 2025. She is also a Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses alumna.
Her work includes documenting events and community interviews for Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, the video and photography behind HITCloud's Crestron Award win for Best Lighting Application, and a photoshoot and interview with Shakira for Rolling Stone. Based in Miami and bilingual in English and Spanish, Manuela leads a growing team of videographers, photographers, and editors, building every production around what the client actually needs the video to accomplish.
