Maryam Khairdi

I'm an architecture graduate with 1 year of hands-on professional experience, currently pursuing a Master's in UI/UX Design. My interest in UI/UX stems from a curiosity about how people interact with spaces, systems, and products—both physical and digital. Alongside my design practice, I also run a small décor business called Tinker and Stone, where I explore materials, colors, and craftsmanship.

With a strong foundation in design thinking and problem-solving, I enjoy translating complex ideas into simple, thoughtful user experiences that balance creativity with functionality.
