About Mirjam
I’m Mirjam, an artist working with words, objects, and experiences.
I look for the essence of things, translating the complexity of inner life into simple forms.
The inner process that has not yet found its words. The precise shade of a colour. A sentence that makes something inside you light up. An unguarded gaze. A moment that changes when you look at it more closely.
I distil what I see into writing, Word*Magic objects, audio experiences, retreats and collaborations.
Each is an invitation to participate more deeply in your own life:
I believe you can change the fabric of your life at any moment, without immediately needing to change its circumstances. You can make a moment deeper, an interaction richer, and something already present newly visible.
Before creating bymirjam, I spent more than a decade writing around 70 scripts for German television. Screenwriting taught me to look beneath what is being said and find the detail that reveals what is true.
Life trained that eye, too. I have navigated addiction, loneliness, emotional complexity and repeated reinvention. Writing and art were not how I described those experiences afterwards. They were part of how I moved through them and gave them another form.
My training in energy work and coaching informs the experiences I create. Words, art and beauty remain at the centre of my practice.
I live by the ocean in Portugal and work internationally. German is my mother tongue, and I work in both German and English.

Educational Background
My deepest study has been and is life itself.
Along the way, I also studied at the Berlin University of the Arts and Film University Babelsberg. I was selected for the UN Women Fashion Industry Disruptor, followed by a collaboration with H&M Germany. Under the name Mira Roth, I wrote numerous screenplays for German television.
Later I trained as a KAP facilitator, breathwork facilitator and systemic coach.
Private Work
I occasionally work privately with women when one deep conversation feels like the right next step. If that is you, use the contact form below or write to me at hello (at) bymirjam.com.
