VISUAL DESIGN PORTFOLIO 

In addition to my professional and academic research, I do visual design on a freelance basis. Below are the services I offer and a selection of work examples with clients ranging from social workers, university librarians, and artists, to academic scholars and upper management at legal and insurance firms. See my Professional CV



︎

Visual Design


I design print and online materials like slide decks, videos, books, and websites that complement client’s existing brands. 




︎

User Experience


Through workshops and interviews, I show you the pain points and opportunities to improve your user’s experience interacting your visual products—from apps to worksheets. 


︎

Facilitation Frameworks


I design interactive digital workspaces on platforms like Miro. I’ve designed workshop spaces from as intimate as 4 participants to a dynamic 60 participants.

︎
Can't recommend Myriam highly enough.
As the co-founder of a boutique consultancy, finding design partners that are high-quality, creative, and dependable isn't always easy. We've had the pleasure of working with Myriam across a variety of clients the past few years and there is a reason we partner with her. Her ability to deliver high-quality work efficiently is incredible. Perhaps most importantly, our entire team loves collaborating with her and it's easy to forget she isn't a full-time member of the team. Her skills stretch way beyond visual design, and she has helped support in design strategy, research, storytelling, and facilitation capacities as well.
