Testimonials
honestly one of the most helpful conversations I've had in a while, friendly, easy, and full of insight, thanks!
Manya was really friendly and helped me a lot to understand my weakness and strengths, she cleared a lot of my doubts and gave all my answers with great clarity. She knows her work very well and shared great insights!
Honestly, Manya helped me more in a 45-minute call than all my solo studying. They cut through the noise and showed me exactly how to improve my learning and time management. Super grateful for the direct feedback!

About me
Hey, I’m Manya Kaushik - Product Designer, NID Bengaluru alum, and your candid design mentor.
My design philosophy is simple: I get a thrill from bringing worlds together. From teaching my Grandma how to use Amazon, to debating human-AI collaboration with peers, I am fascinated by how people think, act, and feel around technology.
My own journey wasn't a straight path. It started with college club posters, shifted through an Electronics degree, and ultimately led me to study Interaction Design at NID Bengaluru.
Today, I mentor aspiring designers by sharing raw, real-world experiences to help you find clarity. I'm here to offer honest feedback and structure if you are looking to:
- Tackle NID Entrances: Strategic guidance for exams and portfolio reviews.
- Crack Internships: How to present your work, build strong concepts, and clear interviews.
- Master the Shift: Navigating design education and industry expectations without the fluff.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or just need someone to give it to you straight, I’m here to help. Let's talk!
