About

Amina (pronounced Ah-min-uh, not Ameena) Ahmad is a self-taught artist, maker, and creative entrepreneur based in Baltimore, Maryland. She is continually inspired by patterns in nature, the magic of memory, and the art of slow living.

She has dabbled in art projects, exploring methods and mediums of india ink, watercolor, gouache, pastel, embroidery, scent, clay, interior design, and more. While her work is varied, her aesthetic is consistently earthy and minimal, with the connecting thread being the desire to create beautiful things.

Born and raised in the wild woods and rolling hills of the less glamorous parts of Maryland, Amina finds grounding and peace in nature within the city. These days, she enjoys endless home projects with her husband, exploring the world of ceramics, and spending time getting stomped on by her two toddlers.

Amina is also the founder and maker of Handmade Habitat, an all natural soy wax candle and beauty goods company, and Habitual Work+Shop, a retail shop and workshop in Lauraville, Baltimore, MD.
