I’m Mane, a Product Designer from Los Angeles.

I am currently working with Harman International and UCLA Epicenter on an Innovation Challenge, as a part of the UI/UX and Product Design Team. This role has thus far allowed me to grow as a young professional, while also building a community of bright minds and designers devoted to creation without barriers. My role as a UI/UX designer for Kradder, a new social media platform, has further gave me the opportunity to learn from all parts of a business team, and to fall in love with the craft of designing for the user.

I am also a student at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), studying Psychology with a Specialization in Computing and Minor in Digital Humanities. I have developed a growing love for the ways in which technological design and our cognitive processes intertwine, delving into the intersection of technology, research, innovation, and design - an encapsulation of all my passions.

I grew up in Armenia, moving overseas to Los Angeles, allowing me the opportunity to discover new cultures, experiences, and challenges. Moving throughout Los Angeles, I have discovered the extents of my ability to adapt and grow in new environments and experiences. In gratitude of my diverse upbringing, I bring these experiences to the designs I create.

I enjoy gardens, soulful music, and finding new ways to express my creativity. Whether it is through sewing, painting, or learning how to wrap jewelry, I find myself yearning for new avenues of design.
