Priya Mani

I am a designer and cultural researcher working to create gastronomical experiences. I grew up in India and studied at the National Institute of Design. In my carrier, over the past 20 years, I have pursued the craft of culture, through food, technology and textiles. I am particularly interested in the human factor and has worked for over a decade in the area of design and innovation across industries.
