“I highly recommend working with Mandira; she is an exceptional creative professional who excels as a collaborator and communicator. Mandira's openness and willingness to share her work in progress contribute to her collaborative approach. She understands the value of seeking feedback and actively integrates it into her creative process. This not only enhances the quality of her work but also fosters a healthy partnership with teammates.

In addition, Mandira possesses a unique skill in striking a balance between business needs and creative opportunities. She recognizes the importance of aligning her vision with the overarching objectives of the project. Mandira's ability to navigate this delicate balance makes her an invaluable asset to any team or project.

I wholeheartedly endorse Mandira and am grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside her at Design Dept.

— Mia Blume, CEO of Design Dept., Design Executive Coach + Instructor

“I worked with Mandira Midha for multiple years at Shopify. She joined in a relatively undefined role to explore what role design could play in communicating our company culture and values internally. Mandira built a high level of trust with the leadership team and the CEO and became the de facto designer for every major event or step we took internally as a company. She also took on the challenge of building out a highly regarded team to run culture design in an extremely fast paced environment. 

Her work contributed to the experience of every person working at Shopify. From the onboarding materials you received the day you joined, to our multi thousand person annual general meeting “Summit”, Mandira visually set the tone. Our strategy was to set a very high bar for design quality and delivery internally, to set the tone and send a clear message to our teams about the minimum expectations we had for delivery to our customers. Mandira helped us achieve these high standards. 

Many of our colleagues have also turned to Mandira if they needed design work for their own companies outside of Shopify. If you’ve the opportunity to work with her, I would highly recommend it.”

— Lynsey Thornton, Former VP of User Experience at Shopify

“Working with Mandira is a gift – she’s got vision, she is highly collaborative, able to build and maintain trust across the board, including with executive leadership, and she always delivers thoughtful and creative work. She designs, builds systems, and teams that can cater to any size and stage of an org, whether it’s a high growth environment like Shopify, or a startup like Backbone Angels. It’s always a privilege to work with her.”

— Konval Matin, Founding Partner at Backbone Angels

“When I started my business, everything was new (and scary) to me. Mandira was one of the experts who helped me find my way. She supported me in figuring out how to show my brand to the world, and we had a lot of fun while we did it! She instinctively understood what I wanted to do, delivered efficiently, and collaborated extraordinarily well with anyone she worked with. Her knowledge, creative talent and vision were incredibly valuable to me, and she was a pleasure to work with. Thank you Mandira!”

The workbook she created exceeded our expectations in every way, with a visually appealing layout and user-friendly format. Throughout the process, Mandira was responsive, professional, and receptive to feedback. We're thrilled with the end result, and the workbook has become an invaluable tool for Re-Work. We highly recommend Mandira for her creativity, dedication, and the exceptional work she delivered!”

— Chantaie Allick and Natasha Singh, Founders of Re-Work 

“Working with Mandira on modernizing a beloved old brand was a treat. She understood the assignment from the beginning and quickly iterated and played with concepts to help me quickly narrow down on a lasting brand identity for The Opinicon. Responsive, creative, and kind, I would not hesitate to recommend Mandira for any job big or small.”
