I’m Mansi (pronounced maan-see).
The script you see at the top of this page is my name in Devanagari.
I chose to begin here, in a language not everyone can read, because it holds something essential about how I move through the world.
If you’re curious, you can read the story behind that choice here.
People often know me through different entry points. Some through handmade tokens for strangers and invisible workers and some through The Ripple Experience™.
But beneath all of it is the same question:
What becomes possible when someone feels seen?
For a long time, art was something I believed I had to leave behind. It returned unexpectedly, on the floor of my home with my young daughter, through spilled tempera paint and the kind of play that asks nothing of you.
I began making again—not to produce something beautiful, but to find my way back to myself.
Eventually, that private practice moved outward.
My daughter and I began giving small, handmade tokens to grocery clerks, crossing guards, delivery drivers, and others whose work is essential but often goes unnoticed. What began as a personal ritual grew into The Ripple Station™ and, later, gatherings where people could experience that same movement from creativity to conversation to connection.
Today, I bring this work into rooms through The Ripple Experience™—intimate, facilitated gatherings where people can set down their roles, work with their hands, and encounter one another differently.
The RIPPLE Practice™ also informs my forthcoming book from Schiffer Craft.
The form keeps changing: a token, a shared table, a small act passed from one person to another.
The intention remains the same.
Bring the experience to your people
My work moves into rooms — book clubs, organizations, schools, community centers, corporate teams— in the form of The Ripple Experience™. We don’t make great art. We simply slow down together for human connection.
If you're ready to bring this to your group, write to me.
