Sri Lanka

Describe Mancini’s company culture in one word?

Supportive

What do you hope to see in the future in the world of architecture and design?

I’d love to see more intentional urban planning in developing cities. I believe Architecture should be relative to where it stands, and that spaces should draw from their local culture, environment, and history to create neighbourhoods with a genuine identity.

When did you know you wanted to be an architect/designer?

For as long as I can remember! My favorite games growing up always involved building and creating spaces – like the Sims, where I’d create a home, move in a family, and then move on to the next one!

What is something you collect?

Artifacts or posters from every country I visit

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

Start your day with gratitude. Every day is a new chance to try something new, excel at something, fail at something, and have the chance to try again the next day.

What is your favorite hobby?

Black and White portrait photography. It’s amazing how much depth a still image can hold. You can almost read a person just by looking at their eyes, and sometimes even imagine the path their life has taken them through.

Do you have any hidden talents?

Charcoal drawing – portraits specifically! Although I never seem to make enough time to practice & enjoy it!

Any other interesting fact about you?

In my free time, I run a home bakery that I started out of my NYC studio apartment!
