Hi, My name sounds like ah-ree-dj. I've been a designer since I was 18 years old, and I'm lucky I've learned from giants and worked with remarkably talented people in the industry. My creative journey has taken me from Saudi Arabia to Seattle, WA, by way of New York, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Ventura. I've found the most joy crafting logos, building websites, and designing interpretive systems for exhibitions. My design students at Dar Al Hekma University in Saudi Arabia and Queens College at the City University of New York helped raise me.

In 2019, I became a mother to a zesty and vibrant child. My need to reconnect with my body and myself after their birth led me to a journey of healing and self-discovery as a parent. Through it, I was confirmed autistic in 2023 at 38. By learning to be in my body and harnessing the power of breathwork, somatic shaking, and spiritual dance, I learned to break free from the vices and habits I'd held onto to mask my whole life. I became an ICF-Certified Somatic Activated Healer and Trauma-Informed Coach to empower others to embrace their authentic selves and find liberation in their bodies.

I’m currently studying to become a Holistic Pregnancy & Birth Practitioner.
