Maymona Bashar Zarraq

Designer

I’m a visual communication designer with a passion for storytelling, creative direction, and content creation. Currently in my final year specializing in multimedia at JUST, I’ve worked on diverse projects — from UGC videos to branded content and event coverage. I recently stepped into a leadership role as the Media Team Leader at TEDxYarmouk, where I combine creativity with purpose to bring impactful ideas to life. Whether behind the camera or leading a team, I believe in the power of visual media to connect, inspire, and spark change.

I’m deeply passionate about making videos. There’s something magical about turning an idea into visuals that move people — whether it’s a story, a mood, or a message. For me, video isn’t just content; it’s a way to connect, express, and inspire. From planning to shooting to editing, I love every part of the process. It’s where creativity meets purpose, and that’s exactly where I feel most alive.

“What if the quietest people in the room had the loudest ideas?” We often associate leadership, innovation, and impact with the loudest voices — but what if we learned to listen more carefully to the ones who speak less? There’s so much untapped wisdom in the minds of those who observe, reflect, and process quietly. Maybe the future doesn’t just belong to those who speak up, but also to those we finally choose to hear.

My TEDx Story It all started with sitting in the audience — inspired, moved, and full of questions. After attending three TEDx events, I realized it was more than just talks on a stage; it was a community, a mindset, and a drive to create change. That’s when I knew… I didn’t just want to watch the story unfold — I wanted to help tell it. Today, I’m proud to be the Media Team Leader at TEDxYarmouk, where I get to turn powerful ideas into creative stories worth spreading

Something not many people know about me is that I’m actually good at leading. It’s not always loud or obvious — but I’ve learned how to listen, organize, support, and guide a team toward a shared vision. Leadership, for me, isn’t about control; it’s about creating space for others to grow, shine, and succeed together. And every time I’ve stepped into a leadership role, I’ve discovered more about what I’m capable of.
