Carmia Weideman

Carmia Weideman

I am a Graphic designer who found a passion for Webflow Development and Figma design systems based on Kent Island, Maryland. I am passionate about creating, whether it's bringing a simple, colorless canvas to life or repurposing tired, weathered items. Growing up in South Africa has given me a culturally rich, bold perspective—I am a designer that takes chances. When friends and co-workers describe me, the words “fearless” and “hard worker” are often used, which makes me proud and shows me that I might be able to inspire and motivate others. I was born with a curious mind and I would love to infect the world with my positive outlook on life!
