About

Crafting Digital Experiences through Strategy, Story & Systems

I'm Manali Surve, a multidisciplinary designer with 12+ years of experience across UI/UX, branding, motion graphics, visual design, and video production. I create user-centered digital experiences that combine strategy, creativity, and business impact.

Currently at Tata Consultancy Services, I work on enterprise product design, marketing campaigns, executive presentations, and large-scale digital experiences for global stakeholders. I collaborate closely with designers, product teams, and developers to bring clarity, consistency, and impactful design solutions to complex projects.

Passionate about blending creativity with emerging AI workflows, I believe impactful design is built through empathy, clarity, and meaningful storytelling — creating experiences that are not only visually compelling, but genuinely valuable for users.
