Mandira is an independent creative director specializing in food and beverage brands. Previously, I led design for culture/employee experience at Shopify.

With 13+ years of experience working as a creative director, design manager and brand designer at various tech companies and design agencies, I help food and beverage brands create unforgettable and intentional experiences, tell their stories visually, and connect with their communities through beautiful and functional design.
