About Maisha Ali

I’m a Business Administration student at De Anza and Foothill College, planning to transfer in 2026. For over four years, I’ve managed my own small business, Henna by Mai, where I’ve learned to market my services, create new ideas for clients, manage scheduling, and collaborate with local vendor markets.I’m passionate about systems thinking and connecting ideas that don’t usually go together to create meaningful solutions. I’m currently developing a second brand, Studio Reemla, where I handcraft miniature polymer clay trinkets that merge art and business. My interests include UI/UX design, marketing, and creative problem solving, and I’m always exploring new ways to blend creativity with strategy.

   As a Graphic Design Intern for the Business Club, I collaborate with my professor and the executive team to create visually engaging flyers and digital materials for club events. My work focuses on developing clean, cohesive designs that align with the club’s branding and effectively promote student participation. I use tools like Figma and Canva to design event posters, social media graphics, and promotional visuals that capture attention and communicate key details clearly. This role has strengthened my creative communication, layout design, and teamwork skills while supporting the club’s outreach and event success.
