Welcome Rani!
At Quest, we believe meaningful impact starts with people – how we work together, how we communicate, and how we turn intention into action. That’s why we’re excited to welcome Rani to the Quest team.
With a background in communication, project management, and customer success, Rani brings a rare combination of structure and empathy to everything she does. She’s known for creating environments where people feel seen, supported, and motivated to do their best work, because clarity and kindness are not opposites, but partners.
How did your personal and professional journey lead you to sustainability, and why does fashion sustainability resonate so strongly with you?
My journey into sustainability didn’t start as a clear career goal, it grew organically over time. I’ve always felt deeply connected to nature, and being outdoors has been a constant source of grounding and inspiration for me. But it was through my work at Yuma Labs that sustainability truly became part of how I think, work, and make decisions every day.
Working at a circular eyewear design and production agency opened my eyes to the impact the fashion industry has on the planet, but also to its potential to be a force for positive change. I saw firsthand how design, material choices, supply chains, and communication can either contribute to waste or help build more conscious systems.
In my role, I worked closely with brands that wanted to do better, not just in how they looked, but in how they operated. That experience taught me that sustainability isn’t only about products; it’s also about relationships, transparency, and long-term thinking.
Fashion sustainability, in particular, resonates with me because it sits at the crossroads of creativity, identity, and responsibility. What we wear tells a story, and I believe those stories can reflect care for both people and the planet. Over time, my passion evolved into a clear purpose: to help create systems, experiences, and collaborations that make conscious choices feel natural, accessible, and genuinely impactful.
What are three things your experience at Yuma Labs taught you that will shape how you work at Quest?
First, I learned how powerful clear and human communication really is.
At Yuma Labs, sustainability was embedded in every decision we made. Designing conscious, values-based client journeys taught me that transparency and clarity build trust, and trust is what turns short-term projects into long-term partnerships. I’d love to bring that same human-first approach to communication at Quest.
Second, I learned the importance of bridging people and disciplines.
My role sat at the intersection of marketing, project management, and customer success, which meant constantly aligning designers, product teams, and clients. Acting as that bridge helped ideas move smoothly from concept to reality while staying true to purpose, impact, and beauty. At Quest, I want to keep supporting collaboration in a way that feels structured, but never rigid.
And finally, I learned that systems can support mindful growth.
Using tools like Notion and Monday, I coordinated timelines, deliverables, and cross-functional work, but the real lesson was designing processes that help people work better together without burning out. Sustainable impact starts internally, and I’m excited to apply that mindset at Quest by helping create clarity, collaboration, and space for meaningful work.
Overall, my time at Yuma Labs deepened my connection to sustainability. What began as a lifelong love for nature evolved into a clear purpose: to create impact for both people and the planet, and that’s something I’m excited to continue building at Quest.
What do you like to do when you’re not working?
Outside of work, I recharge in nature as much as possible. You’ll usually find me running along the Portuguese coast, flowing through yoga, or spending time at the beach with the people I love.
Being close to nature is where I reconnect with myself, and it’s also what continues to motivate me to create positive impact for both people and the planet.
Why does Quest feel like home for you?
Quest feels like a very natural fit for me. The mission truly aligns with my values and with how I believe work should be experienced – purposeful, human, and grounded in impact. I strongly believe that everyday work should feel good, and I see that same mindset reflected in the way Quest approaches sustainability, innovation, and collaboration.
I’m excited to bring my experience in aligning teams, strengthening communication flows, and supporting meaningful projects – always leading with empathy and intention. For me, impact isn’t just about outcomes, but also about how we work together along the way.
