Biography
Mana Mojaver is a designer, entrepreneur and professor with a life-long passion for art and design. She is a founder of Manam, a boutique studio initially focused on women’s dresses, and co-founder of e3 Koncept, a contemporary, adaptable clothing line base in Toronto, Canada.
The idea of easy design that lasts resurfaced in Mana’s personal life came from growing up with a sibling with special needs and later while recovering from a shoulder injury. She realized how difficult it was to put clothes on every morning and thought of the millions of people that go through something similar every day. Introducing simple but thoughtful ideas in fashion design to make life easier for all is her continuous goal.
In teaching Mana has a collaborative mindset and ability to engage students to achieve spectacular results, repeatedly demonstrated in her years of broad teaching and entrepreneurial experience in design and brand development. She loves to teach diverse learners by using active learning strategies.
