Zyla Mirza
I thrive on solving design puzzles, whether it’s saving the world one step at a time by making an Antarctic conservation animation, or helping a friend transition from a spacious suburban room to a cozy city space with an efficient and aesthetic layout. Client satisfaction fuels my creativity, and I believe that the best designs are those that bring a smile to someone’s face.

Zyla Mirza, Disaster Shelter Design and NGO Branding | Raise Us Foundation
This project explores modular, flood-resilient shelter design for disaster-affected communities, with a focus on the Mishing community of Assam. Using bamboo, woven ikora, concrete-filled footings, and a tartan grid system, the shelter is designed to be adaptable, expandable, and rooted in traditional stilt-house architecture. The final outcome includes architectural models, detailed plans, and a visual identity for a fictional NGO, Raise Us Foundation, which frames the shelter not just as a structure, but as a step toward long-term recovery.

The tRing OVision Pro is a conceptual smartphone which features hologram technology.
