Maryam Maya Tohidi is a San Francisco-based artist and Google UX strategist who explores the intersection of identity and displacement through tactile mixed media. Her practice is defined by the layering of Farsi poetry, historical artifacts, and personal journals to investigate the emotional architecture of migration. She recently headlined the solo exhibition Fragments of Home: An Immigrant's Tapestry at 5 Olive Gallery, featuring a triptych series that traces her journey from Tehran to North America. Her technical range is further evidenced by her participation in the Roots curated group exhibit at Ruth’s Table and her The 100 Day Project focus on porcelain hand-building and ceramic glaze sketching. Tohidi translates professional design thinking into community-based education through her CreativiTEA workshop series, where she utilizes tea as a medium for artistic expression. Her work serves as a portfolio of cultural preservation, bridging the gap between high-tech strategy and the physical reclamation of ancestral memory through sculpture and canvas.
