We’re two longtime friends who met back in University 14 years ago, and shared years working side by side in the design world. Through that journey, we discovered how naturally our skills and personalities complemented each other, and how much we loved bringing ideas to life together. So in 2022, we decided to start something of our own.
That’s how Maní was born: a creative studio built on trust, collaboration, and a shared passion for creating remarkable experiences for the benefit of all.
The curiosity about what's beyond the borders has always been what guided me both personally and professionally.
I graduated in Product Design in Brazil, and also had the chance to expand my design experience with a scholarship in London. With over 11 years of experience in the field, I've worked on a wide range of exciting and challenging projects that have shaped my approach to design.
Being passionate about traveling, exploring new cultures, and immersing myself in different environments led me to transition from office work to a fully remote design career.
Living and working around the world has deeply influenced my design process, helping me bring fresh perspectives and creative approaches to every project.
My design journey started naturally and early on; as a little girl I already remember having the urge to explore and investigate things.
I've been working in the area for over 10 years, but it was during my degree in Product Design that I truly understood the power of design and all the possibilities that come with it.
During graduation I've been to Portugal and Spain to improve my 2D/3D animation and video making skills. And in the past 5 years I've been focusing on designing digital products and service experiences.
The repertory built over these years working on a wide range of design areas, combined with my constant curiosity and investigation skills is what I believe helps me to design better solutions for our clients.
