MEENAL UPADHYAYA

MUMBAI

Meenal is a creative person by heart and a UI/UX Designer by profession. Though she has no formal training as an artist, she received a lot of guidance from her sister who is a trained artist and her mother who is a very creative person.

It all started as a hobby when she made hand painted kettles and restored old furniture by painting it for her own home. Her family and friends appreciated her work and once people showed interest in buying her products, she decided to go into business under the brand name MintsArt

She loves making home décor items like hand painted kettles, customized nameplates, trays, coasters, cushion covers, keyholders, tote bags and gift sets.

She also tries to do her bit for the environment by making hand-painted canvas tote bags and pouches to replace plastic bags.

Though it’s a challenge to coordinate from 2 different cities, the duo has successfully fulfilled customer orders with their exquisitely crafted, quality creations.

MintsArt products are also available on https://www.zwende.com/ and https://www.vibecity.com/
