Hi, I’m Maryan—a London-based graphic designer and video editor who loves blending analogue techniques with digital storytelling. I create engaging visuals and short-form video content for social platforms, delivering brands’ messages with a distinctive, hands-on approach. I’m comfortable leading creative direction, collaborating with founders, and producing branded campaigns across social media and multimedia formats. Currently studying Graphic Design at Kingston University London, I’ve built practical experience through self-initiated projects, freelance work, and roles in customer-facing environments. I’m drawn to opportunities that mix design, motion, and storytelling, and I’m excited to contribute to dynamic teams and brands looking to push their visual identity forward.
