👋 Hi, I’m Maryam — an AI/ML experience designer with a passion for crafting intuitive, intelligent systems.

I bring 8+ years of UX expertise and 3+ years of focused experience designing media and entertainment tools, currently leading design at Spherex. I hold a Master's in Graphic and Experience Design from NCSU 🎓.

Outside of work, I’m usually hiking 🏔️, painting 🎨, fostering kittens 🐱 — or attempting to learn a new language and instrument (progress questionable at best 😅).

Thesis: Designed a smart tangible system to support second-language acquisition through UX and product design
