Mana – In Turkish, “meaning” or “essence”; in Kırım Tatar
culture, it carries the same sense of depth and significance.
Across other cultures, such as Polynesian traditions,
“mana” represents spiritual power or energy. More than a
café, Mana is a collective space to enjoy coffee and
pastries, showcase creative work, and experience art and
music—where every visit carries meaning and energy.
All concepts, designs, and visual elements in this project,
including the corporate identity and branding, were
conceived and created entirely by myself.

The Mana logo embraces a minimalist design, rendered
entirely in black to convey elegance, sophistication, and
timeless simplicity. The only accent is the dot of the letter
“a,” highlighted in purple, symbolizing creativity, imagination, and innovative thinking. This subtle use of
color within an otherwise monochromatic and rounded
design creates a harmonious balance between refined
luxury and playful inspiration, emphasizing both the brand’s aesthetic clarity and its commitment to artistic expression.
All of the visuals in this project were created using advanced AI tools —
including KREA, Runway, MidJourney, and Adobe Firefly — enabling
deep experimentation with form, texture, and conceptual expression.
After the AI-assisted creation process, all final mockups and visual
compositions were carefully refined by me in Photoshop to ensure
cohesion, consistency, and a professional presentation.
During my one-year collaboration with Fonon, an Uzbekistan-based jewelry brand, I developed creative and corporate design projects with a focus on simplicity and luxury. I also managed and directed product photoshoots, handling everything from styling to creative direction, and completed retouching and post-production. The final visuals were used across social media, billboards, and magazines. My workflow included Adobe Photoshop, AI-based tools, Blender for selected backgrounds, and Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing.
