Biography:

Hi, my name is Maryam. I was born and raised in Iran. I came to San Francisco four years ago and fell in love with the city and moved here a year later. I have a BA in Graphic Design, but after I graduated I stated my career as an Interior designer. I worked as freelance designer for few years remodeling and decorating residential and commercial projects.
When I moved here I decided to go back to school and get my masters. I am in my third semester in the Web Design and New Media program in AAU. My passion is concept and visual design. I am currently doing a UI/UX design internship to be able to learn more and gain more experience alongside with school.
