Hello…! I’m Mariam Khan 🍰

I’m a Pakistani-American Product Designer all about crafting compelling experiences. I’m endlessly curious about how empathy and strategy can open doors for community.

Currently, I’m an Experience Designer at Alloy Partners (formerly High Alpha Innovation). I love pulling apart research, facilitating workshops, and integrating ideas and strategies to create actionable designs.

I enjoy thinking about ways to incorporate moral reasoning into my design processes, especially while considering changing cultural trends and emerging tools.

When I’m not designing you can find me

  • practicing my mehndi/henna skills and designs

  • going on runs

  • programming community events

  • reading (currently: The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern)

  • deliberately doodling (see below)

  • stumbling over practicing my Urdu 

Send me a hello at mkha.one@gmail.com - I’d love to chat

Pattern-making is something I do in my spare time to center myself

I find myself drawing inspiration from all the South-Asian embroidery I’ve grown up admiring. Because this is something I allow myself to take my time with, filling one page can take anywhere from weeks to months.

I find immense joy in designing and practicing mehndi (henna) as it’s relaxing and provides a huge creative outlet
