I’m Karima, a designer who brings hidden narratives to light through data visualization.

My current work focuses on how migration and displacement shape identity and belonging. I interact with these topics at a various scales by carrying out personal interviews and analyzing mass migration datasets. By merging data with design, I aim to reveal overlooked patterns, challenge dominant narratives, and create visuals that spark conversation and empathy. Whether through speculative design, interactive experiences, or visual storytelling, I explore how information can be transformed into meaning and how meaning can inspire change.

With a background in architecture, I am currently a Master of Industrial Design candidate at the Rhode Island School of Design. I explore how design can be a tool for social impact, transforming complex data into visuals that inform, challenge, and inspire.
