*A little more about yours truly.


I’m Zara :)

Born in Pakistan, raised in Australia, shaped in New York, and endlessly curious about what’s next.

Part designer.
Part storyteller.
Part ambitious overthinker.

I care deeply about craft, clarity, and people.

The kind of person who asks:

Is it useful?
Is it delightful?
Would your mum understand it?
And why doesn’t it feel more expensive?

...That last one tends to get me into trouble.
