About Hami

It began in 2014 with a love for fashion, storytelling, and the quiet need to create something of my own. When I was accepted into Parsons School of Design, it felt like confirmation that there might be space for me in a world I had always admired from a distance.

Life moved differently.

Circumstances beyond my control kept me from going, but the need to create never left. It followed me through every version of my life that came after.

Over the years, I’ve taken many paths. Educator. Advocate. Entrepreneur. Creative. Mother. I moved across continents and built a life in Switzerland while navigating experiences that challenged me in ways I never expected.

Through all of it, creativity remained constant.

Not always loudly. Not always perfectly. But consistently.

It became the thread connecting everything. The questions I ask, the stories I tell, the things I create, and the way I try to make sense of the world around me.

Why I Am Hami Exists

I Am Hami is no longer just a fashion project. It has become a reflection of the woman I am still becoming.

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

I create from the in between. Between what is expected and what is true. Between what women live every day and what we are allowed to say out loud.

Worn to Speak

Worn to Speak grew from that tension. Each piece reflects something many women experience but are rarely encouraged to articulate. This work does not try to speak for everyone. It speaks from where I stand and from what I have lived.

I know womanhood is not experienced in the same way by everyone. Different communities carry different realities, pressures, and histories. This space simply holds mine, without dismissing or erasing anyone else’s humanity.

My Intention

This is a space for women’s lived experiences. For reflection without performance. For conversations that do not require shrinking, silence, or pretending. It is not a debate platform, and it is not built around neutrality at the cost of honesty.

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

I do not create to provoke. I create to make room.

This work exists because women’s voices still matter, even when they are quiet, complicated, emotional, or uncomfortable.
