👋 Hey, I'm Mana!
I'm a product designer who works on the full product lifecycle.
For the past four years, I have been designing and managing projects at Venngage — working on their onboarding, editor and team experiences.
I've had the opportunity to speak at the CISI Paraplanner conference about the importance of data visualization, and have led webinars highlighting design principles for beginners.
Prior to product design, I studied behavioural neuroscience & microbiology at the University of British Columbia.
Coming from a scientific background has informed my designs through data, helping me narrow down problems and create tangible solutions.
When I'm not designing products, you can find me ...
Painting
I find painting to be quite meditative and a way to truly disconnect. I held a daily practice in 2021 where I painted some of what you see above! 

Some of my favourite painters are Sari Shryack, Teddi Parker, Wanda Comrie, Jim Musil and Alai Ganuza.
Illustrating
It all started in 2018, where I did a 30 day challenge to learn how to use illustrator. In 2020, I participated in the 100 day project illustrating a portrait every day (some of which are shown above).

During my time at Venngage, I started a passion project illustrating members of the product team — it slowly grew into illustrating the entire company! These illustrations were used across slack, our social platforms, and our about us page.
‍
I have also done illustrations for clients such as Wax Records (Noelle EP Cover) and Taste of Seasons Crèmerie.
Making glass things
I am fascinated by glass and how it can be molded and shaped to create really beautiful pieces. So far, I have enjoyed making beads, marbles and a few ornaments.
Hosting open mics! 
I love hosting and bringing friends together where we can play music, sing along and have an unforgettable night.

Fun fact : during my university days, I worked at the Commodore Ballroom. I got to see some really cool shows and interact with a few of my favourite artists like Bonobo and Låpsley.
