We all have something worth bringing into the world.
MANA brings together personalized AI training, creative gatherings, and tools for reflection to help people explore what matters to them and bring their ideas to life.
It started with a gathering.
In 2018, we started hosting weekly creative gatherings in Bali, and later Los Angeles. Entrepreneurs, artists, writers, and designers came together to make time for ideas they’d been putting off.
People launched businesses, finished projects, and returned to creative practices they’d set aside. Those gatherings became the foundation of MANA.
Meet the founders.
Dylan Moore
Dylan Moore is an engineering leader and creative technologist with 14+ years of experience building software products, leading engineering teams, and working at the intersection of technology and creativity.
He led the building of Places from the ground up into a globally used travel platform, growing the engineering team by 10x along the way. Today, he leads AI adoption and engineering at a fast-growing technology company, where he works at the forefront of how AI is changing the way teams build.
Outside of technology, Dylan has spent years exploring creative expression through generative art, music production, interactive VJ installations, and the creative workshops he and Kelsey have hosted in Bali and Los Angeles.
Across both worlds, he’s developed a simple belief: we all carry something worth bringing into the world, and the missing piece is rarely talent. It’s empowerment.
At MANA, Dylan brings together technical expertise, systems thinking, and creative practice to help people develop the confidence and capability to build things they never thought possible.
Kelsey Moore
Creative Director
Kelsey Moore is an award-winning designer and creative director with more than a decade of experience building brands, businesses, and experiences across fashion, interiors, hospitality, and events.
Her career began in fashion, where she designed for GUESS Jeans and the Kendall + Kylie line at PacSun, before moving into creative direction and helping scale a sustainable, women-owned fashion brand from startup to an internationally recognized company. She later founded her own interior design studio, working across residential, hospitality, and commercial projects and developing a multidisciplinary practice spanning design, branding, creative direction, and experiential work.
Today, Kelsey brings that same breadth of experience to MANA Labs, where she leads creative, brand, and community and co-designs each Workshop with Dylan. Her approach combines creative strategy, design thinking, storytelling, and systems to help people develop ideas with intention and turn them into something real.
At the heart of her work is a belief that creativity is a powerful path to self-expression, connection, and possibility—and that everyone has something meaningful to bring into the world.
Personalized AI training for individuals and teams.
