About Mandla Shonhiwa
Lead Product Designer at Sanctus
I'm a transdisciplinary product designer working at the intersection of the digital and physical worlds. My background is in advertising, filmmaking, art, technology and eLearning. Merging these skills and experience, I aim to synthesise human-centred experiences that solve business problems.
I'm passionate about design research, design ethics and futures thinking. I have a Master of Science in Interaction Design from Cyprus University of Technology; my research topic focused on design ethics in Multi-user Virtual Environments / Social VR.
I'm based in London, and in my spare time, I enjoy open water swimming, reading, cycling, photography, socialising and filmmaking.
