Manali is a Visual and experience designer living and exploring London, born and raised in Udaipur, India, a historic city set in the Aravali hills, which influenced her creativity from a very young age. After receiving a bachelors degree in Communication Design, she formerly worked on diverse projects to help brands excel; years with strategic business insights taught her that design thinking could make a difference. Further, she was a co-owner of a healthcare business brand leading the business strategy and brand positioning. However, as a consistent development of understanding people grew, she wanted to incline her work towards crafting human-centric experiences and pursued her masters in user experience design. Her creative approach—no matter the medium—is to find points of tension behind the idea she has been assigned or is interested in. She believes in building meaningful experiences with solid research and a co-design mindset and aims to continue to do so at a professional level.
