My work meets at the cross section of design and social awareness.

Marjan is an Afghan born, American grown designer living in Philadelphia. She works at Penn as the Director of Creative Strategy & Design for the University Life Division providing oversight on creative strategy, design training, brand consistency, and production of print and digital assets.

She received a BA from George Mason University in Anthropology and Graphic Design, then a MS from Jefferson | Philadelphia University in Print Design.

This is an evolving field - constantly growing and adapting to new technologies and automation. designers are lifelong learners who use tools & tech to make better design decisions for society.

My fundamental belief as a designer is the importance of contributing to the whole community – understanding the value of collaboration, communication, process, and practice. We build better environments by creating a culture where people feel valued, respected, and heard.

This is what Design does.
