Available to hire
I’m Zohreh Valiary, a multidisciplinary graphic and visual designer based in Vancouver, with a strong focus on brand identity, typography, and consistent visual systems across digital and print. I work at the intersection of art direction and practical production—translating complex ideas into clear, engaging layouts, social-first content, and responsive digital experiences.
Across my recent roles, I’ve led the design and delivery of digital learning materials and interactive assets, while also art directing and designing multi-author editorial and web publications. I enjoy iterating quickly with feedback, coordinating multiple deliverables, and using advanced tools like Adobe Creative Suite and Figma—plus AI-assisted workflows—to support ideation, content development, and creative production.
