Coming from a design background at NID, I was more comfortable with sketching and concept generation. The foundation training at Mantra helped me further strengthen these abilities, it provided a structured yet flexible platform for me to build upon. 

At Mantra, I faced a steep learning curve with three-dimensional surfacing, an area I had limited experience in. The digital sculpting faculty went out of their way to support me, often putting in extra hours to help me refine my skills. Their guidance proved instrumental in accelerating my learning.

As we progressed into design projects, the diversity of brief’s challenged us to think creatively and adapt quickly. I found this especially enriching, as it offered opportunities to share & learn from my peers about different approaches and outcomes too. The faculty played a vital role in shaping our thinking and encouraged us to explore new directions while providing valuable feedback.
