Hey, I’m Alyah! A multihyphenate renaissance girlie—artist, designer, and creative director—and this is my Designer Diaries, where I’m sharing my journey behind the scenes of leaving corporate tech, starting my first business in my 20’s, and creating my dream life along the way.

After 6 years of designing and barely getting by, I finally decided to allow myself to explore and get curious about creating for me again and collabing with creators and brands who get the vibe 🦋

This reflection space matters to me, somewhere to show the good and bad, and I know having a safe space like this matters to a lot of us. We don’t owe perfection to the internet but we owe honesty, compassion, and a bit of dreamy whimsy to ourselves.

I love chatting about all things lifestyle, travel, education, wellness, sustainability :)
