a história da minha vida thoughts, art, design, photography, emotions, venting, declarations, memories, reminders and oh so much more. the inner workings of my mind will surely prove to be a complexity that no one would think to venture into. this blog is all about stuff that i see, like, love, feel or create. so hello there. the name is manolia. i am: a graphic designer/thinker/all-round-organized mess, going through an identity crisis (born in mumbai, raised in dubai) and yes… i am a little odd.
