Born in Karachi, I grew up in Toronto, obtained a BFA at the University of Houston and currently live somewhere between Venice and Siracusa, working as a remote, freelance designer.
My work spans a variety of disciplines and mediums including design systems, web and app design, product design and development, visual design and branding, art installations, photography, manual printing and mural painting.
With a passion for creativity and a versatile skill set, I thrive at the intersection of design, art and innovation.
