Hello,
I’m Maryam Ahmed, a designer based in Finland, working with visual identity and editorial design. My practice exists in the space between the commercial and the cultural, where design becomes a tool for dialogue: connecting disciplines, languages and perspectives.

I approach each project as an act of bridge-building. For me, meaningful design begins with listening: understanding the values, context and story at the core of a project. By slowing down the process, I translate these foundations into visual systems that feel clear, and grounded.

Collaboration is central to how I work. Engaging closely with clients and creative teams from the outset allows direction to emerge organically and leaves room for discovery. Early alignment creates a shared language that supports ideas as they evolve through conversation and making.

My work moves between restrained minimalism and more expressive, statement-led forms. At its core is a commitment to design that communicates across differences, and resonates beyond the surface.
