Maryam Ahmed is a designer based in Finland, specializing in visual identity and editorial design for an international clientele. Her practice engages with both the commercial and creative dimensions of the cultural sector, developing visual identities that speak across languages, contexts, and disciplines.
Each project is an opportunity to connect worlds, translating nuance, language, and cultural insight into cohesive, intelligent design systems. Her process is grounded in understanding a brand’s foundation: its values, tone, and narrative, and distilling that into clear, purposeful visuals. Collaboration is integral to her work. Whether with a client or a creative team, aligning early shapes meaningful development and creates space for discovery throughout the process.
Her work spans refined minimalism to expressive, statement-making design, always aiming for clarity with impact. Editorial design and illustration remain central parts of her practice, where complex ideas and narratives become engaging visual storytelling. At the core is a commitment to design that bridges, translates, and resonates.
