Morgan Mansour

I am a writer and educator working between experimental publishing, interface design, and frontend development.

Projects

Design & Code

Evolving from past work in hybrid literary forms and media art, I make poem-websites that shape the frontend and writing as a holistic process. I take a visual and sonic approach to composing the text, working simultaneously between VS Code, Audacity, and Figma. This collection of pieces from late 2023 to early 2025 served as my portfolio to study with the Klasse Digitale Grafik and further develop into a thesis project. I will begin a master's degree at HFBK Hamburg in October 2025 and continue to expand in interactivy, typography, and the inclusion of audio elements.

Product Documentation

As a longtime user and community member of the visual research platform Are.na, I was truly thrilled to lead an overhaul of the platform's help docs timed with the release of their new web client. The project included a full restructuring of their information architecture within a new content management system, revising and expanding the copy into new instructional articles and resources.

Research Writing

I collaborated in-house with market researchers at Statista, covering global energy trade, renewable resources, and Latin American agriculture. My main task was writing and editing a high volume of industry reports for B2B audiences to provide narrative context and searchable text content for data visualizations and graphs.

Teaching & Organizing

Bringing a background in language education, I teach creative code and net art through the lens of media literacy. Recently, I guest taught in a daylong workshop in a foundations of communication design course at Burg Halle, and organized Hamburg HTML Day as part of a worldwide event. Past work includes community development at SuperHi and computational arts courses with MAMA.codes.
