We're a dynamic creative studio founded by 3 friends that are passionate about good design and creative solutions. We believe its all about uncovering unique stories behind every brand and person.
It all started in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I first met Lara at university. Picture this: a classroom packed with 200 students, and by some cosmic accident, we ended up partnering up for an assignment. Just like that, we went from random strangers to instant friends.
University days were pretty chaotic. Between tackling deadlines, studying for exams, and operating on the philosophy that sleep is for the weak, we found time to work on freelance projects for our first real clients. That’s how we started daydreaming about launching our own design studio one day.
After graduating, Lara moved to New Zealand, and it seemed like our design dream might be over. But two years later, I decided to join her and moved to Auckland. Who would have thought I'll end up working at the same company as her? It was like the universe had a sense of humor!
But wait, the story doesn’t end there. During our first year in NZ, we met Lina, a kind, adventurous and ambitious person who clicked with us right away and became our closest friend. She was like the final piece in a puzzle we didn’t know we were missing. With her onboard, the Manteca team was finally complete!
We will get back to you ASAP
