storyteller. researcher. service designer.
I am designer planting the seeds of design to build worlds that bloom, flourish, and thrive. I believe meaningful change is nested in centering the rich stories people tell us when they are given a voice.
I have partnered with communities and organizations across sectors, including government, healthcare, sustainability, and the non-profit space, to tell their stories and to solve complex problems.
It is of utmost importance to me to bring an empathetic lens that prioritizes diverse communities and people most impacted by systemic harm to build worlds where we can all thrive. Through my professional work and my creative agency, Aya Dame,
I bridge creativity, strategy, and experiential design to do just that.
Feel free to browse my website for my public work. For more information about my experience and current work portfolio, get in touch today! I'd be happy to share some work (under additional work) privately.
