Hi :)
My name is nesma.
And this is Hawa Designs.
I’m an Egyptian-American graphic designer and photographer inspired by my roots, my love for diverse cultures, and a fascination with movement—both in life and in the work I create. I’m drawn to clean, geometric design and to projects that reveal process, storytelling, and hidden meaning.
My work often explores motion and energy, whether through animation, visual rhythm, or subtle details that guide the eye. I thrive on challenges that push my creativity and allow me to bring intention, depth, and life to every visual.
At the core of my practice is the belief that small gestures can have a big impact. I approach design with the same attentiveness I bring to life: thoughtful, deliberate, and full of quiet movement that engages and surprises.
I’m also a Texas girl, born and raised, who recently discovered she might have had a little California hiding inside her all along—a mix of Southern grit and West Coast curiosity that’s found its way into both my life and my work.
Right now, I’m especially drawn to projects that feel genuine and personal—work that reconnects me with the curiosity and excitement that first pulled me into design.
I’m a quick learner who thrives as part of a team that embraces curiosity, collaboration, and the feeling that first made us fall in love with creating.
