About
I’m a multidisciplinary designer based in Vancouver, Canada with over 15 years of experience specializing in User Interface & Experience Design(UI/UX). I am an advocate of accessible design and I am passionate about storytelling, emerging technologies, building communities, and information design. Nature and science are my inspirations and my professional goal is to implement human-centred, minimalistic and ethical design.
I am currently looking to take on new freelance projects so feel free to contact me at azarnia.maryam@gmail.com
