Introductions, please…

My name is Rafia. I've lived multiple lives where I've worked as a sculpture tech in fine art foundries, a production artist for print and web, an in-store graphic artist in a major multinational grocery chain, and most recently, transitioning from technical writing into UX writing and content design.

I've learned a lot from all of these roles. But I hit a snag where none of them felt like enough. If you're a creative, you know what I mean. You dream of bringing something out of the ether of your own self, pulling it into the world, and seeing what happens.

I've been a writer since I was a kid. I've written and been published online here and there throughout my life. Lately, it's become clearer that it's the path I'm being called to. It's not a hobby, it's not a job, it's a lifeline.

A way to connect to a part of myself that I lost, a long time ago.

If you read something and want to get in touch, find me on Bluesky.

If you want to hire me as a content designer (my side hustle), check out my creds at read.cv. I'm also on LinkedIn.
