Hello, my name is Manna Young ☺︎

After earning my B.A. in Film and Media from UC Berkeley, I recently moved to Los Angeles to continue my creative work.

I picked up my first camera at 14 and have been observing the world through images ever since. Beginning with photography, then moving into film, and later exploring graphic design and audio production. Each medium shaped how I see stories, rhythm, and people.

My life has unfolded across Shenzhen, San Diego, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. Those places continue to influence my work, grounding it in curiosity, cultural nuance, and human connection.

I create with the belief that paying attention, really listening and watching, is how stories begin.
