Hi! Salaam! 안녕! Salut!

I'm Tirzah, or ترزہ, or תִּרְצָה.

I’m a designer passionate about the human-centered, mobility justice side of transportation and the built environment. With nearly a decade of experience in graphic design for politics and advocacy, I use visual communication skills and systems thinking to address gaps in policy, data, and lived experiences through thoughtful public engagement and participatory design strategies. Currently, I'm a Master of Urban Planning student at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.

When I’m not thinking about or learning about or practicing design, I can be found drinking black sesame lattes, tending to my ZZ plant Urbosa, learning ASL and Korean, perfecting my technique for folding dumplings, crocheting mittens for my friends, expanding my collection of metro cards from around the world, or attempting to train my cat Professor Kawkaba to fetch.

Want to work with me? I'm already excited. Shoot me an email and let's talk. At the moment, I'm most interested in freelance and part-time opportunities with a focus on community-centered design.
