our story
Maní started with a long friendship. We met at university in 2011 and spent years working side by side in the design world. Along the way, we realized how naturally our skills and perspectives complemented each other and how much we enjoyed building ideas together.
In 2022, we decided to start something of our own.
Today, Maní is a small creative studio formed by three designers who care deeply about the work we put into the world. We help shape ideas and experiences through strategy, design, and storytelling, balancing thoughtful structure with creative freedom. When a project calls for it, we collaborate with a trusted network of partners and specialists who share our values.
For us, good design starts with listening: understanding the people, cultures, and intentions behind a project, and translating that into something clear, meaningful, and true.
We care about authentic work that resonates, creativity that connects people, and helps ideas and communities thrive together.
