HELLO! I’m Maryam Ikuforiji, a creative passionate about mobilizing visual storytelling to elevate brands.
I am based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota and Chicago, Illinois and I am currently pursuing a degree in Communications Studies with a focus in Integrated Marketing and a minor in Legal Studies at Northwestern University. My passion for visual storytelling drives me. I have pursued this passion through many visual art projects which have molded my belief that art transcends everything as it supersedes cultural and linguistic barriers. My affinity for visual storytelling also stems from my passion for diversifying a space that was not created with people like me in mind. As a Communication Studies major intending to become a Creative Director, it remains of utmost importance to me to see growth in the representation of underrepresented communities within the industry. This growth is to be pioneered by individuals, like me, seeking to pave the way for future generations to think differently and flourish in all spaces.
