How It All Started…
Born from friendship. Built on curiosity.
Fueled by a shared love for thoughtful design.
We’re KayHaus Creative — a design studio founded by two friends, creative partners, and fellow graduates of the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. What started as late-night brainstorms and collaborative passion projects has grown into an official partnership, driven by a shared belief that bold ideas and meaningful design can make a real impact.
Meet the Team
We believe design has the power to connect, inspire, and make ideas feel human. Our mission is to bring empathy, clarity, and creativity to every brand we shape, crafting experiences that are not just seen but truly felt. We’re here to build bold, honest work that resonates and lasts.
Manishka Khanna
Co-Founder
AKA Perfectionist: detail-obsessed and clarity-driven, she brings calm to the chaos ✨
With experience designing for global brands like Meta and Google, Manishka brings a thoughtful, strategic approach to storytelling through design systems, events, and digital experiences. Her work balances structure with creativity, always focused on clarity, impact, and human-centered design.
Gurvinder Kaur
Co-Founder
AKA the Listener: fueled by curiosity, conversations, and a knack for finding the heart of every story 💛
With experience across agency work and political campaigns in the Bay Area, Gurvinder approaches design with empathy and energy. She creates bold, audience-focused visuals that connect across cultures and platforms.
With roots in India and creative journeys that have brought us to the Bay Area, we bring diverse perspectives and a global sensibility to everything we create. Our combined experience spans working with industry leaders such as Meta and Google, as well as political campaigns in the Bay Area, startups, and small businesses, crafting work that connects, resonates, and delivers results.
At KayHaus, we specialize in branding, packaging, UI/UX design, and visual storytelling across various platforms. Whether it’s building a brand from the ground up, refreshing an identity, or designing experiences that audiences can feel, we approach every project with curiosity, collaboration, and care.
We’re not just designers. We’re listeners, storytellers, and problem-solvers who believe that the best work comes from trust and good conversation (preferably over coffee). We’re here to help brands find their voice, tell their story, and show up boldly in the world.
