MORE ABOUT ME

MORE ABOUT ME

I’ve always made things, long before I knew what to call it, or what it could become. This is where it all begins…

I’m Maiya or Sumaiya Zafar if we’re being formal. I’m a designer who creates simply
because I love the process, not the labels.

I’ve always followed what feels right from painting to UI, branding to fashion. I’m
drawn to anything that sparks curiosity. I don’t like fitting into one box; I just want to
keep learning, growing, and creating visuals that feel honest and make people feel
something.

My
expertise

(1)

UI/UX Design

Craft intuitive navigation that makes features accessible. Choose layouts and graphics that fit your personality.

(2)

Digital Illustrations

Drawing has always been my comfort zone. I use digital illustration to tell stories that don’t need words sometimes soft and emotional, sometimes bold and experimental, but always personal.

(3)

Graphic Design

The process involves building virtual 3D models and materials, setting lighting, and then rendering the images.

(4)

Fashion Design

Before I found design on a screen, I was sketching outfits on paper. Fashion taught me about form, texture, and confidence lessons I still carry into everything I create today.

(5)

Arts & Crafts

This is where it all started. Cutting, painting, gluing just making things with my hands. It reminds me why I fell in love with creating in the first place: the joy of turning something simple into something beautiful.

Motivation

I’ve always been drawn to creating not because I planned to, but because it’s the one thing that’s always felt natural to me. Art and design have been my way of understanding the world and expressing what words can’t. I’ve never wanted to limit myself to one path or label. Whether it’s painting, UI design, or branding, I’m always curious about how visuals can make people feel something calm, inspired, or even just seen. That feeling is what keeps me creating.

For me, design isn’t about perfection or trends. It’s about growth learning something new every time,
finding meaning in small details, and making something that feels honest. I just want to keep exploring, evolving, and building things that reflect who I am becoming along the way.

Let'S WORK TOGETHER

Based in Pakistan (and sometimes lost in my sketchbook), I’m a designer who loves turning ideas into visuals that feel real and intentional. Whether it’s a brand, a website, or something completely new I’m always up for creating something meaningful, together.
