Mani enjoys creating experiences in physical and virtual planes and is interested in juxtaposing Art with Design as she explores structure, mixed media and analog interfaces.
Over a decade, she has acquired a rich knowledge of cultural techniques and crafts from the Indian subcontinent. Her design journey has had her dabble with Earthship Architecture, Shibori, Weaving, Artistic Project Development, Interactive Installations and Interior Architecture. Mani has also been an Art gallery manager and curator. Her journey itself has been an evolving pattern with each new learning, interaction and connection adding to its complexity and simplicity.
Mani patiently does her research, letting the process guide the outcome and allowing for variability of materials, ideas and implementations. She graduated in Interior Architecture from Pearl Academy, New Delhi. She further went on to pursue her Masters in Design Media Spaces from (U.E) University of Applied Sciences-Europe, Berlin.
