I’m Mane, a digital storyteller and designer from Los Angeles.

I’m a recent grad from UCLA, with a B.A. in Psychology and minor in Digital Humanities. I have developed a growing love for the ways in which technological design and our cognitive processes intertwine, leading me into the intersection of storytelling, research, innovation, and design—an encapsulation of all my passions. I’m currently working with UniShack and Nommo Mag.

I’ve been so fortunate to grow up in diversity, with an inclination to understand the power of stories and perspective. I grew up in Armenia, moving overseas to Los Angeles, allowing me the opportunity to be raised by the world around me; to discover my relationship to the cultures, experiences, and challenges that shape me. 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 upbringing, I bring these experiences to the stories and designs I create.

Some of my greatest loves include 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 growth and discovery through creativity. I’m beyond excited to continue my journey—to continue learning and contributing to the world around me.
