 What I Do

I create spaces for sharing handmade kindness—from weekly letters that invite genuine dialogue to self-paced online classes, from stories in my upcoming book to collaborations with heart-led brands. Together, I hope we can discover how small acts of creativity and connection can create lasting ripples of joy.

What People Say

  • "This was sooooo much fun and a challenge as well. I had a background that I was uncomfortable with that turned out to be my favorite side in the end - go figure!!! I definitely will be making more of these in the future - my grandkids will be getting personalized birthday cards - how fun!!"

    Tina M K

  • "Thank you so much for showing us how to make gratitude tags. It is so freeing. It really is listening to the paint and paper and seeing where it takes you. I've shared a few already and am excited to share more."

    Connie S

  • "I loved your class Mansi! Everything you said I needed to hear. Love your approach and enjoyed playing with those yummy backgrounds. My problem is I don’t like whiting out what I have done…but obviously works great here. Wonderful exercise in having no outcome in mind. Your child analogy really spoke to me. Thank you!!"

    Suzy F

  • "Mansi, I want to sincerely THANK YOU for your wonderful course. I have never used a gel plate before and am now bursting with ideas. I tried using my 12X12 plate last night and had a blast. I have had it sitting in my stash for years and never had the confidence to get it out. You have inspired me and taught me some wonderful techniques and I am so very grateful. Love your teaching style."

    Theresa M W

  • "Thank you, Mansi!! This has been more of a journey than a class, and one that I never expected to make! I feel like an explorer in my own creativity whereas before I was just a conductor directing my energies into practical crafts . I still enjoy creating as a gift, and won't stop doing that, but I now know that I can create just for the sake of creating, and I can explore and play, not just follow directions. Thank you for this eye-opening revelation, and for being so supportive throughout the process."
