Hausner Intersession 2025

I'm Mansi (pronounced: Maan-see), and I believe in the power of tiny moments to create profound change. Through art and words, I explore what it means to create authentically and connect meaningfully in our digital age. What began as sharing handmade tokens with strangers has blossomed into a practice of intentional presence.

Each little token—a blend of mixed media, poetry, and heart—becomes a tangible reminder that we're seen, that we matter, that our brief interactions can create lasting ripples of joy.

Living in the heart of Silicon Valley, where digital connections often overshadow human ones, choosing presence feels both radical and essential. Here, surrounded by the buzz of innovation and the glow of screens, I find joy in phone-less walks with my pup, analog word games with my daughter, and moments of handmade creation in between.

Through The Ripple Maker, I share stories of unexpected connections, creative explorations, and reflections on finding meaning beyond metrics. My forthcoming book, "Little Tokens, Big Ripples," invites readers into this practice of heart-led creation—where making becomes a sacred experience, and sharing becomes a catalyst for conversations.

Whether through my weekly letters, handmade tokens, creative classes, or upcoming book, everything I create is an invitation to pause, connect, and remember what matters most. These aren't just my stories—they're windows into our shared journey of finding meaning in a rushed world.

Thank you for joining me as I create connections, collect smiles, practice presence, and seek simplicity.
