Hi! I’m Ayla Soofi, a recent graduate from the University of Michigan’s Stamps School of Art & Design. I earned my BFA degree in Art & Design (Graphic Design Focus) and also pursued a minor in User Experience (UX/UI) Design through the School of Information.
I'm passionate about shaping my artistic path towards a future in publication, interface, and graphic design. I really enjoy collaborating with others to create accessibility and ease within human-centered designs. I also love learning new skills, and how to blend creativity with functionality to create visual storytelling and deliver aesthetic and intuitive user experiences.
About Me!
What I’m Currently Learning:
Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into web design and learning how to build purposeful visuals for non-profit organizations, including a current project with the Sanjan Nagar Education Foundation Inc.
For fun, I’ve been experimenting with mediums that I have little familiarity with, such as creating a leather cover for journals inspired by the Louise Carmen journals. I’ve also returned to printmaking as a hobby to reconnect with a hands-on creative process.
When I’m not designing…
You’ll catch me exploring new cafés and restaurants, hanging out with my dog, collecting keepsakes for my scrapbooks, creating nail art, watching movies, playing tennis, and constantly daydreaming about my next travel adventure!
Check out the places I’ve visited (from study abroad or generally), from a website I coded with HTML and CSS:
Note: there might be a few errors! I completed this project in April 2025
