I’m currently studying Communication Design at the University of Cincinnati (DAAP)! I am in my third year and have learned so much, and I can’t wait to keep learning!

One of my favorite parts of being a designer is the constant problem-solving and innovation. I get a huge spark of energy diving into a tricky design puzzle and figuring out a solution from scratch. Seeing those ideas come to life, put a smile on someone's face, and make a real impact is why I love what I do. I’m endlessly curious, super hands-on, and always looking to learn and grow from every single experience.

When I’m not in studio, I run two small businesses: Fatima’s Forever Florals and Fatima’s Henna Artistry. Running my own brands has given me a front-row seat to audience research, marketing strategy, and real-world design growth, keeping everything I create grounded in what actually works.

I live with an open mind, a growth mindset, and the firm belief that everything happens for a reason!
