Behind the scenes

Colophon

The small print, in the honest version: the typefaces, tools, and hands behind how this site looks and reads — and a few notes on what's mine.

Made with

Design & tools

This site is hand-built and coded with care. A handful of brand and visual elements were made in Canva. The mosaic motif, colour palette, and Maryam's Mosaic wordmark are my own.

The honest part

Words & images

All writing on this site is my own. All photography is mine as well — unless a specific image is otherwise credited where it appears.

Spot something that should be credited and isn't? Let me know and I'll fix it.
