Mandy Shantyne Lopez

Mandy Shantyne Lopez is a graduate-trained professional writer, interdisciplinary designer, and multimodal creator working at the synthesis of human-centered storytelling, information architecture, and empathic intelligence.

Her work translates complex ideas, across culture, technology, metaphysics, and cognition, into clear, actionable, and resonant systems. Spanning fine-art publishing, immersive audio, UX and instructional design, podcast development, and applied research, her practice bridges visionary aesthetics with functional transformation.

​

Mandy’s body of work has been published and distributed across platforms including Spotify, Headfone (India), Amazon KDP, and New York University’s literary archive, and has been recognized by New York University and the United Nations Innovation Network Lab for excellence in strategic communication, human-centered design, and empathic AI frameworks.

​

In 2025, she served as a graduate researcher and presenter at the United Nations, where she authored, designed, and delivered Human-Centered Storytelling & Empathic Communication for AI Systems, an applied research project exploring how narrative intelligence and cultural context improve ethical decision-making, sensemaking, and human-machine collaboration within institutional environments.

​

Internationally, her work includes cultural and educational programs, sound exhibits, workshops, and media development in Amsterdam and Mexico City, where she has collaborated with artists, educators, and organizations to design experiences that translate abstract theory into embodied understanding.

​

She specializes in creating mind-body-intelligence tools that strengthen IQ, EQ, and Creative Intelligence (CQ) through language, rhythm, sound, and reflective design, building systems where writing becomes architecture, multimodal become enhanced experience, and storytelling becomes a tool of alignment. 

​

Mandy is the creator of Mermaid Metaphysics: Tides of Truth, Love in a Golden Age, The Soul Effect, and the founder of The Aura 33, a research-driven vision platform at the frontier of audible design, personal power, and ethical co-creation.
