About Me

My Headshot

Hi, I’m Mariama Williams, a Cincinnati native and graphic designer with a talent for blending analytical thinking with creativity. My design journey started with a love for drawing and creating, fueled by encouragement from my family and friends. This support and encouragement led me to graduate with honors from Howard University’s Chadwick Boseman College of Fine Arts, where I focused on 2D, 3D, and animated design.

I enjoy designing work that reveals new layers and perspectives, like a book cover project where I used typography to shape a brain—merging logic with creativity. Over the years, I’ve worked on a variety of projects, from murals to small show productions, and I love seeing how design can make a tangible impact.

Black culture is a huge source of inspiration, especially R&B music and black cinema. I’m fascinated by the creative process behind music and dream of bridging visual and audio storytelling in my work. Outside of design, you’ll often find me exploring streetwear fashion, skincare science, binge-watching shows, or trying new cuisines.

I’m seeking opportunities to grow my skills, collaborate with innovative teams, create art aligned with my interests, and create visuals that inspire and connect.
