Hi, I'm Zaria!

I'm a recent graduate of Maryville University of St. Louis with a BFA in Interactive Design. Go Saints!

I've loved art and design for as long as I can remember, and turning that passion into a career feels like a dream come true. I'm a hardworking, kind, sarcastic, and slightly whimsical creative who loves a good challenge and is always excited to learn something new.

I love bringing ideas to life, exploring new creative directions, and finding the little details that make a design feel uniquely its own. Whether I'm developing a brand identity or crafting a digital experience, I'm happiest when I get to turn ideas into something meaningful.

I'm glad you're here. Take a look around, get to know my work, and let's make something great together!

A Little About Me

I'm naturally curious and observant, always finding inspiration in the world around me. I enjoy experimenting with ideas, exploring different creative directions, and noticing the little details that make a difference. I'm passionate about art, culture, fashion, branding, and visual storytelling, and I love learning through hands-on exploration, discovering new tools, techniques, and creative possibilities along the way.

Outside of Design

When I'm not working, I love exploring fashion and personal style, reading everything from fantasy and romance to literary fiction and thrillers, and discovering new cafés, bookstores, vintage shops, and creative neighborhoods. I enjoy hands-on hobbies like crochet, pottery, and baking, listening to R&B and indie music, collecting vinyl records, and making time for yoga and wellness. Most of all, I love spending time with my dogs and family.
