About
Hi, I'm Maria Azka.
I'm a self-taught designer from Pakistan. I actually started out in logo design, but later realized how much I loved working on food projects. That spark naturally led me into designing cookbooks, and I've been doing it for over 5 years now. Apart from work, I love getting lost in a good book, hitting the gym, and trying out new food spots. Oh, and chilling at home with my cat, of course!
