About Hami

It began in 2014 with a love for high-end fashion and a pull toward creativity, design, and self-expression. I poured that energy into my application to Parsons. When I was accepted, it felt like proof that I was meant to create — to take up space in a world that hadn’t been built with me in mind.

Life didn’t unfold that way.

Circumstances beyond my control kept me from attending, but the dream stayed. It shifted shape. That early need to express myself followed me through everything that came after.

Over the years, I’ve taken many paths — educator, advocate, entrepreneur, creative. I became a mother. I moved across continents and built a life in Switzerland. I faced challenges I never imagined I’d have to navigate. Through all of it, I kept creating. I kept asking questions. I kept moving forward, even when things felt unclear.

Why I Am Hami Exists

I Am Hami is no longer just a fashion project. It’s a reflection of the woman I’m becoming.

My work comes from lived experience — from womanhood as I’ve known it in my body, my labor, my silence, and my voice. It comes from noticing how much women carry, and how rarely we’re given space to speak about it honestly.

I create from the in-between — between what’s expected and what’s true, between what women live every day and what we’re allowed to name out loud.

Worn to Speak

Worn to Speak grew from that tension. Each piece reflects something women experience but are rarely encouraged to articulate. This work doesn’t try to speak for everyone. It speaks from where I stand.

I know different communities carry different truths and struggles. This space holds mine — without erasing anyone else’s humanity.

My Intention

This is a space for women’s lived experiences. For reflection without performance. For conversation that doesn’t require shrinking or silence. It isn’t a debate platform or an exercise in neutrality at the cost of truth.

From storytelling jewelry to personal reflection, this work is more than a brand. It’s a reclaiming. A remembering. A place where my voice can exist freely.

I don’t create to provoke. I create to make room.

This work exists because women’s voices still matter — even when they’re quiet, messy, or uncomfortable.
