From 2013-2021, she worked as a digital product designer, tech industry (User interface and user Experience Designer). A serious health issue led her to turn to her passion; painting and transform it to a full-time job. She has been working intensively and professionally as a visual artist since 2021. Mandy Damirali is also an art teacher, in painting and drawing to children 7-12 years old. Her main source of inspiration is nature and the emotions we experience in our lives.
