MANA MOJAVER

Design direction isn't created in isolation—it already exists in the energy of the team and the purpose of the brand. I uncover, guide, and translate that vision into cohesive identity that serves people, planet, and purpose.

About Me

I grew up in Iran, surrounded by poetry, textiles, and art—where every object carried meaning and every color told a story. This early immersion shaped my understanding of how people express identity through the sensory language of design.

Moving to Canada meant building a better life, but I always carried a longing for connection, warmth, and cultural richness. This journey taught me that design isn't just visual—it's emotional, tactile, and deeply human.

Rooted in Story & Sensory Design

Design Philosophy

I design to translate memory and emotion into form—materials that feel alive, colors that speak, and visuals that carry meaning. My work is rooted in the belief that clothing should connect us to something deeper than trend or function.

Through years of travel across diverse cultures and craft traditions, I’ve come to see textiles as vessels of memory—where design becomes storytelling, and craftsmanship preserves heritage. This inclusive, global lens continues to shape how I create with purpose.

Teaching has sharpened my precision and deepened my sense of responsibility. Whether building adaptive collections or tactical outerwear, I strive to marry creativity with integrity—designing not just what looks good, but what works beautifully and endures with care.
