Thinking in systems, endlessly curious, and intentional down to the smallest detail ⋆。°✩

Hi! I'm Salma, a product designer and creative who turns complex problems into clear, intentional experiences people actually feel.

Growing up, I was always creating something. Three-story cardboard dollhouses, crocheted blankets that never perfectly laid flat, dance routines I'd choreograph for fun. I didn't call it design then. I just called it making things I cared about.

Design has changed the way I see the world. It taught me that empathy isn't something you have, it's something you practice. It means setting aside assumptions and listening to what a problem is asking for.

I'm currently seeking Winter/Spring 2027 internships! Reach out if you're looking for someone who sweats the details, asks a lot of questions, and will put everything into making something worth making.
