Hey, I'm Surabiha  ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ decorative flower

My name is pronounced Sir-ah-bee-ha but you can call me Sura.

With a background in New Media studies, I bring together design and technology to create accessible, functional, and engaging digital experiences.

I began my career as a freelance graphic designer before shifting into a role that allowed me to merge both passions.

You can learn more about my career journey in my journal entry, or feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.

OFFLINE

The best ideas rarely come from staring at a screen.

The work is better when life outside of it is rich. Whether I'm baking something new, meeting friends for coffee, getting lost in a concert, or diving into a hobby I know nothing about, I try to stay open to experiences that have nothing to do with code. These are the moments that keep me grounded, curious, and reminded that the best creative work comes from a full life, not just a full schedule.

Here are a few ways I spend my time when I'm offline.
