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.
