I started in computer science, migrated into design, and never really stopped being both. Eight years later, I'm the kind of designer who can talk to developers without losing anyone, because I've been on both sides of the handoff.
My work lives at the intersection of brand strategy and visual craft. I think in systems but execute with intention. Whether it's a 20-page brand guideline for a Series A startup or a 3D asset for a blockchain game, I care about the logic behind the look.
How I got here
I picked up Photoshop in 2017, while I was still doing my CS degree, just because I was curious. That curiosity never stopped. By 2020 I was freelancing full-time. By 2022 I was a 3D artist on a metaverse racing game, learning Blender and Substance Painter on the job. By 2023 I'd moved upstream into visual systems work at Tkxel.
In 2025 I moved to Kentucky from Pakistan. New country, new chapter. I enrolled in CalArts' Graphic Design Fundamentals on Coursera, not because I needed to start over, but because revisiting fundamentals from a place of experience teaches you different things. It humbles you in the best way.
Why I write this site
For most of my career, my online presence has been a portfolio. Logos, mockups, case studies. That's still here, but it's only one part of who I actually am.
I also train, every single day, no exceptions. I cook most of what I eat. I read paper books. I think about attention, time, and what it means to build a life on purpose. None of that fits neatly on a portfolio page, but it's most of who I am.
So this is the bigger picture. The work, yes. But also the body, the mind, and the journal, a growing record of what I'm figuring out.
What I'm doing right now
- Freelancing in brand and 3D, looking for the right full-time role.
- Training every day. 20-minute timer workouts, no rest days.
- Cooking most meals. Writing up the recipes that stick.
- Learning React + Next.js, slowly, to understand the medium I design for.
- Writing in the journal, weekly. Figuring it out in public.
