Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, in a household shaped by

Tanzanian and Pakistani culture, an upbringing that taught me to

find meaning in differences and communicate across them. Choosing

design over a traditional career path was an early lesson in trusting

my instincts.

I studied graphic design at the University of the Incarnate Word,

where professors and resources helped me refine my process and

move toward digital work. From there I became a communication

coordinator, collaborating with teams and deepening my

understanding of how design functions at an organizational level.

a product designer who cares about the thinking and the people

behind the work.
