Hey, thanks for stopping by!

I’m Mai Mostafa, a designer and creative technologist who loves building experiences that help people learn, imagine, and express themselves.

I study Human-Computer Interaction at Stanford and blend design, research, and development across XR, AI, web, and mobile platforms. My work grows from a lifelong love of teaching and from the belief that technology should feel human, intuitive, and a little magical.

When I am not working, I am often exploring museums, listening to audiobooks, or chasing my next spark of inspiration throughout the day.

If anything here resonates, I would love to connect.

With love,
Mai

When I’m not working on my next project, you can usually find me…
