01 — Who I Am

About Me

My career started in Karachi at PNT Global in 2016 — client briefings, UI/UX layouts and marketing banners. From there to Imran Ads in Buner, then XGC as a remote designer. Within a year I was flown to Malaysia and promoted to Managing Director — leading a 60-person team, running cross-border logistics and corporate accounting, and heading the creative division that grew our channels past a million followers.

Today I work remotely for XGC and ABM, and take on brand, packaging and AI-content projects for clients anywhere. I've sat on both sides of a creative brief: the one making it, and the one paying for it.

A multi-million-dollar Malaysian conglomerate spanning international finance, global supply chain, retail and digital media. I joined in 2021 as a remote designer — within a year I was Managing Director, working directly with the CEO. We launched five new ventures (including Herbal Black), and I headed the creative division end to end, scaling Facebook and TikTok from scratch to over 1 million followers.

A household retail name across KPK, known for premium sweets, a fresh bakery network and full departmental shopping. I built the identity from the mark up — logo construction grid, business cards, a complete packaging system and an ongoing social campaign.
