Designing products people understand, trust & enjoy
New to Contra
Mara is ready for their next project!
For the Base44 Challenge, I wanted to do more than redesign a website.
I chose Aregak Bakery & Café, a small social business in my hometown of Gyumri, Armenia, where people with disabilities have meaningful employment opportunities.
Here’s what I built:
✨ Storytelling website experience
☀️ Follow the Sun concept
📅 Unified Reservation Center for tables & bread pickup
💛 Support Aregak donation experience
🤖 AI Guide for instant assistance
♿ Built-in Accessibility Center
🌍 Fully multilingual (English & Armenian)
📊 Internal Aregak Panel for managing reservations & demo donations
📱 Fully responsive across desktop, tablet, and mobile
Built with Base44. 💛

My submission for the Wonder Challenge is live ✨
I created my personal portfolio website with Wonder — from prompt-based design exploration to a complete Marmel portfolio experience.
Wonder helped me build the design foundation quickly, Claude helped bring it into code.

Allow me to introduce Deadli. 🚀
A fictional productivity companion designed to transform deadlines into a calmer and more focused creative experience. Built as both a collectible mascot and the central character of a digital product, Deadli represents the idea that great work doesn’t need more pressure, just the right companion.
I hope Deadli earns a place in your memory long after you’ve finished viewing this project. 😊

A long time ago, I dreamed of creating an animated film that could make people feel something. This story was inspired by a little friend of mine who always used to say: “Life should be lived today.” That idea stayed with me.
At first, I called this project The Stolen Tomorrow. But as the story grew, I realized something. What if tomorrow wasn’t stolen at all? What if one day it simply never arrived?
That’s when the title became The Last Tomorrow.
This film is my small reminder to stop waiting for the perfect moment, because every tomorrow begins with today.
I’ve uploaded two videos:
🎬 the final 1-minute animated short
⚙️ and a technical breakdown showing how it was created.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life.

Recently, I worked on a logo refresh for Kellers Beer.
A little background: Kellers is brewed at the Sevan Brewery in Armenia, so one of the key goals was to preserve the connection between the brand and its origin.
The client wanted the identity to reflect Sevan itself. Instead of simply adding the lake as a separate graphic element, I looked for a way to merge two existing logos into a single visual mark. The outline of Lake Sevan became part of the logo composition, helping tell the brand’s story while maintaining a refined, premium feel.
The result is a design with subtle old-money aesthetics that celebrates both the heritage of the brewery and its Armenian roots.
What do you think of this approach? 🍺
