Kinza Muzahir
Digital Media Producer
| Writer | Designer
Kinza Muzahir is a 6 time Graphic Excellence Award winner. She started as a game designer in 2014, and since then, has worked in public media, commercial, and narrative spaces. She's also a member of the Asian American Documentary Network.
Her work meets where technology, interdisciplinary art, and purpose create well-researched cross-platform campaigns for relevant audiences. Her work is rooted in the artistic and sociological appreciation of the depth and wonder of the human condition. Through it, she explores how geographies shape people and, consequently, communities.
A strong technical and conceptual academic foundation in narrative frameworks fuels her passion for design and immersive technologies, yet her process always starts on the page. Ever a poet, her lens is influenced by storytelling to create experiences through literary and visual devices.
Kinza can often be found illustrating or recording in her studio during the day, and performing at open mics at night.
