Diego Muñiz
Director of Media & Audio, University Medical Center El Paso | Sound Designer & Recording Engineer, University Medical Center El Paso
Muñiz is a sound architect whose career traces a perfect arc: El Paso teenage DJ → Houston audio student → television sound designer → live recording engineer → institutional media director — and back to El Paso. He is the rare audio professional who can shape a techno set, mix a live recording of Portugal. The Man, design sound for broadcast television, and direct media operations for a major medical center. His participation as staff at Georgetown Futuro 2019 reflects how naturally his technical craft integrates with the ecosystem's operational needs. He hears what others overlook — and builds the sonic infrastructure that makes content land.
Narrativa
Diego Muñiz es diseñador de sonido e ingeniero de grabación que comenzó como DJ y productor adolescente de techno en El Paso, Texas, se mudó a Houston para estudiar producción de audio, consiguió un puesto de diseño de sonido en una estación de televisión local apenas dos años en su formación, grabó en vivo a artistas como Portugal. The Man, y hoy dirige edición de medios y audio para el University Medical Center en su ciudad natal de El Paso. Sirvió como personal en el Futuro Summit 2019 en Georgetown University, llevando el mismo oído que da forma al audio de transmisión y a la grabación en vivo a la convocatoria insignia del ecosistema.
Muñiz understands that sound is infrastructure — not decoration. Whether he is mixing a live recording, designing broadcast audio, or directing media operations for a medical center, his approach is the same: precision in service of clarity. His trajectory from teenage DJ to institutional media director proves that creative instinct and technical discipline are not opposites — they are the same ear, trained over decades. His work at University Medical Center shows that sound architecture applies everywhere, not just in studios and concert halls.
