Training in and the performance of Bharathanatyam (a classical Indian Art/dance form) since childhood, brought into her life the essential elements necessary to recognise, appreciate, learn, understand and create artistic expressions. She is trained in Bharathanatyam under Guru Late Hemamalini Arni and has performed her Arangetram after years of practice.

Further in her life, studying and practicing art and architecture became an extension to her creativity and expression where form follows function based on realising the dreams of an individual, a family or a group of individuals, be it for their residence, their workplace, their farm houses or any for space where they intend to spend quality time, with Manasa ensuring that “Design gives Divinity and Dignity to all users”.

Presently working on and executing interior design as well as architectural works at Hyderabad and Bengaluru, while maintaining work-life balance.
