Ivana Manola
Hello, I am
I’m a mom of two wonderful boys – twins Noah and Noel, a happy wife, and the graphic designer behind the Manola Studio brand.
My passion for graphic design runs through every aspect of my life, and working with clients to shape their visual stories brings me immense joy. In the world of colors, shapes, and endless possibilities, every project is an opportunity for me to create something special.
Through a blend of professionalism and creativity, Manola Studio is not just my job, but a journey where I share the joy of creation and bring creative dreams to life together with you. Welcome to my world, where every line, color, and detail is carefully crafted to tell your story in the most beautiful way possible.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN?
Curious about
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to artistic expression, which eventually found its path in graphic design. However, circumstances led me in a completely different direction for a time – I spent 12 years working as a market manager for Scandinavia at one of the most successful travel agencies in Croatia. While working in this role, I had the opportunity to travel frequently to Scandinavian countries for business. Extreme climates, gloomy weather with long polar nights and short days, grey skies, and cold... Doesn’t sound very appealing, does it? Meteorologically speaking, it didn’t to me either. But it was in this environment that I found inspiration, enjoying the works of Scandinavian designers—their simplicity, functionality, and aesthetics. From Per Mollerup (a Danish graphic designer) and his work at airports in Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm to the Scandinavian way of life, which influences relationships, behavior, and the environment.
connected to that?
How is graphic and web design
From a certain mentality, you can discern the interpersonal relationships and culture of a country, as well as its influence on the lives of individuals. The philosophy of living in Scandinavia is a part of their culture and daily life. Although concepts like hygge (well-being), lagom (moderation), and koselig (coziness) differ in some principles, they are fundamentally similar. They are all based on finding balance in everything we do and enjoying the little things. It was during the most intense period of my travels that I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and shortly after, I officially gained the label—person with a disability. My illness limited me in many ways, but with the unconditional support and guidance of my husband, it simultaneously opened doors to a completely new way of life, work, and existence. It gave me the chance to, after many years, take a bold step and turn a new page in my life... And here we are :)
Thank you

Quality over quantity
Terms for cooperation
In my approach to design, dedication to clients is key. I work with a very limited number of clients to ensure my full commitment and personalized attention. My schedule is often filled with projects and collaborations, so my work with new clients is carefully planned. I periodically announce open appointments or time slots to work with new clients to ensure I have enough time and resources to devote my full attention to each project. Quality trumps quantity, and I believe in an approach that enables a deeper understanding and precision in the creation of visual identities. I am open to new projects, but with an emphasis on providing top-notch experience and results through a limited number of collaborations.
