About SymplyMaed
You ever feel like your brain doesn’t have an off switch?
Like you replay conversations, overthink everything, and feel things a little too deeply?
Yeah… same.
SymplyMaed was created for people like us -
the ones who feel a lot, think a lot, and are just trying to exist without spiraling every other Tuesday.

I’m Kashmir -
based in Dubai, working a full-time job in healthcare,
and spending as much time as I can underwater.
Because somehow, everything makes more sense there.
No noise. No expectations. Just breath, silence, and the ocean doing its thing.
And then I come back up…
to emails, responsibilities, and a brain that refuses to chill.
So I started creating.
___________
SymplyMaed is where those two worlds meet -
the calm of the ocean, and the chaos of being human.
It started with stickers.
Small things that say the thoughts you don’t always say out loud.
But it’s growing into something more.

Dear Diver
Once a month, I write a letter inspired by a marine creature.
Not a productivity lesson.
Not a “fix your life” guide.
Just something honest.
Each letter comes with:
- a reflection from the ocean
- a journal prompt to sit with
- and little pieces (like stickers or prints) that feel like the sea
It’s slow. It’s quiet. It’s intentional.
Something you open… instead of scroll past.

How it’s made
I come up with the ideas -
usually somewhere between overthinking and emotional damage.
And I work with my oldest friend who brings them to life visually,
turning messy thoughts into things you can hold, keep, or stick on your life.
We are high school friends. She is a rig engineer, a wife, a mother - and one of the most quietly gifted people I know.
She is in Malaysia. I am in Dubai. And somehow, across the distance, this little brand exists because of both of us.
___________
Why this exists
Because not everything needs to be fast.
Or loud.
Or optimized.
Some things can just… exist.
And maybe make you feel a little less alone in your head.

Pretty things, for complicated souls.
