His first credit as producer was for Ángeles sin paraiso in 1992. He produced seven more telenovelas for Televisa during the 1990s, including El abuelo y yo, this while continuing to direct. In 2002 he was executive producer for a telenovela for teens, Clase 406, running over four seasons and 365 episodes.

This was followed by Rebelde, which ran for three seasons and 440 episodes. Cast members of the series formed a band, RBD, which Damián represented and produced. Damián is executive producer for the spinoff series, RBD: La Familia, and has produced three specials for RBD.

When Damian left the Estrada unit to form his own producing unit, Reynaldo Lopez took his place as director of the Estrada unit's television series, staying until 2007.
