Manasteriotti DS is a design studio specialized in visual branding of products and companies. It is based in Sveta Nedelja, Croatia, headed by Igor Manasteriotti.
Igor Manasteriotti was born in 1977 in Zagreb. He grew up with architect parents, immersing himself from an early age in the world of drawing, watercolors, and collages. In 1987, his family moved to Moscow, which Igor would call home for the next seven and a half years. There, he learned the language and became acquainted with graphic design by working on school posters and yearbooks. The graphically simple, constructivist style strongly influenced his design development. He graduated from the Anglo-American High School in Moscow and was later accepted into the renowned Rhode Island School of Design, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design.

After graduation, he returned to Zagreb and gained experience at one of the most creative agencies in the region, Bruketa&Žinić OM. In 2006, he was promoted to the position of art director at Brandoctor, Croatia’s first branding agency and a partner agency of B&Ž. After four productive years at Brandoctor, he co-founded the Manasteriotti∞Maric studio with graphic designer Mia Marić, which has been known as Manasteriotti DS since 2016. Over his 20-year career, Igor has been the art director on projects for numerous national clients across various industries, such as Orada Adriatic, Autoto, Microblink, CorvusPay, Froddo, Hypo-Alpe-Adria Bank, Podravka, Cromaris, Osječka pivovara, FINA, Tele2, Terrakom, Maistra, Ferotehna, and many others.
He is a member of the Croatian Designers Society, the Croatian Freelance Artists Association, and the RISD Alumni Association.
