Yara Hanna

Born in Beirut and now based in Paris, I am a designer with an interest in words, editorials, conceptual work, and experience design. I employ the practice of empathetic observation as the basis for my work. I strive to work and grow in environments associated with human-centered design and encounters. Garlic Press is a project that was born out of my interest in areas and activities that can foster growth in personal and collective culture, like food, publications, technologies, and alternative forms of social gatherings. A testimony to the importance of food in our cultural landscapes and identities, Garlic Press is aimed at redefining the way we record, share, and preserve our recipes, as a means of carrying forward our legacy into the future.
