Soma Ray is a service designer and facilitator with 250+ workshops behind her at companies like IBM and Booking.com, and in her own practice, ManthanUX. Her craft has always been about designing the conditions under which people speak thoughtfully and do their best work together. Food is one of those conditions, and MasalaCurious is where that thread continues: workshops, suppers, and sensory experiences built around flavour and cultural exchange.

At HUEMANSIDE she will lead a collaboration workshop and host the day-one supper table
