Manasa joined us in 2019 to evolve Design For Extreme Affordability - she currently leads curriculum for the program. Over the years she has been instrumental in infusing best practices in social entrepreneurship and participatory design into the course design - from creating a virtual version of the course in 2020 to launching our first Bay Area version of the program. She's been a practitioner in the intersection of social impact and design for the past 15 years - working across K12 education, civic engagement and gender equity. Prior to the dschool - her work has predominantly been global - from being part of Teach For India's startup team to leading CSR practices for global institutions to creating the first innovation practice at Women's World Banking - I know she'll bring a wealth of real world rooted mentorship to our students.
