ABOUT MUYAN
New York City
Hi, I’m Muyan, a communication design sophomore at Parsons, currently based in New York City.
I work intuitively across print, image and interaction, following whatever feels curious, awkward or worth touching.
I’m still figuring out what kind of designer I want to be, and this website is part of that process.
