A Familiar Face, A New Chapter

From Intern to Full-Time: A Return Rooted in Growth

When Haziyah Azalmey first walked through AICREATIVV’s doors in 2023, the chaos hit her like a creative hurricane. Loud laughs, expressive personalities, a team that felt more like a college group project than a corporate creative design agency—it was a culture shock in the best way possible. But little did she know, that very chaos would be what shaped her, inspired her, and eventually pulled her back.

A year later, Haziyah Azalmey found her way back to the place where she first discovered what it means to create with heart. It wasn’t by chance; the team rallied behind the idea, a vote was cast, and the truth was clear: AICREATIVV wanted her back. And so did she.

“Thankful. For the chance to try again, to learn, and to continue this journey with the people who helped me start it.”

A Year Apart, A New Set of Tools

Creative growth rarely happens in a straight line. For Haziyah Azalmey, the time away was filled with personal shifts, professional challenges, and plenty of unlearning and relearning.

She leaned into marketing design—once a weak spot, now a new strength. She learned to appreciate her creative slumps instead of fearing them. And she realised growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it looks like someone telling you, “You taught me something.”

Her return came with a fresh mindset, more creative muscle, and the confidence to teach, guide, and collaborate in new ways. But some things hadn’t changed at all—like the feeling of being part of a team that accepts her for exactly who she is.

“Sometimes, it doesn’t feel like work. Just a group of friends working towards one big passion project.”

Reflection, Reset, and a Chapter Still Being Written

Now back as a full-time Creative Designer, Haziyah Azalmey sees her story as something still unfolding. She’s balancing her personal style with client needs, referencing books, postcards, and fellow creatives for inspiration, and learning to rest without guilt.

To the younger version of herself, she’d say: take that break. You need the pause to spark the reset.

To new creatives entering the field, her advice is clear: Show up. Get out there. Let your work be seen and your voice be heard.

Because sometimes, the creative journey doesn’t come full circle. Sometimes, it spirals upward—returning to the familiar, but with new light.

“Third time’s a charm?”
