Hi, I’m Maria Khan.
I was born and raised in a place where the idea of the internet and computers felt less like tools and more like distant fantasies. In 2011, my elder sister received a laptop as a reward. She placed it in my hands, not knowing she was gifting me the first doorway to my dreams.
That laptop stayed with me until 2023. Its keys fell off, the screen faded, the battery gave up, but I never did. Even when it barely functioned, it became my greatest teacher, reminding me that the strength of one’s ambition is far more powerful than the limitations of any machine.
In 2021, I entered university to study plant sciences, not because I chose it, but because my father believed art could never build a life. And yet, even while learning a different discipline, my heart kept gravitating toward design. I worked tirelessly on outsourced projects, sometimes earning just $1 for work that others sold for hundreds or even thousands. But, I refused to allow unfairness or hardship to silence my passion.
I began practicing graphic design in 2019, and by 2021, I was offering my skills to small businesses, companies, and anyone who believed in my vision. Every design was a step toward proving that art is not a weakness. It is a language, a livelihood, a legacy.
Today, I stand as the first person in my family to become a freelancer and a graphic designer. The journey was steep and often lonely, but every struggle shaped me, every setback taught me, and every dream pulled me forward.
Thank you for being here. Anyhow, My story is still being written. One challenge, one design, one dream at a time.
