FREELANCE CREATIVE DIRECTOR & BRAND STRATEGIST — AVAILABLE NOW
I help brands go from concept to execution across creative direction, brand strategy, and visual identity — with real fashion-industry roots (5 years at G-Star RAW, 1 year at LockerRoom Kyoto) that shape everything from streetwear branding to Japanese denim culture. On top of that: UI/UX and web design/development (Shopify, Webflow, WordPress), social media & content strategy with an eye on the analytics, and AI-assisted creative production for campaigns, character/brand consistency, and content at scale. Design → strategy → execution, all under one roof.
Got a project sitting on the back burner? DM me your timeline and what you're working with.

Introducing ZARGAR where heritage meets identity.
ZARGAR is a brand identity system born from a forgotten craft: Tilla Zari, the metallic thread embroidery once woven into footwear across the Pothohar region of Punjab.
This project is my BFA Graphic Design thesis ,An attempt to pull a fading tradition into a contemporary visual language, without losing what made it sacred in the first place. Every mark, material choice, and typographic decision was built to honor the hands that shaped this craft for generations.
Zari isn't just embroidery. It's memory, status, and story stitched in metalic thread.
ZARGAR is my way of making sure that story doesn't disappear.
Tilla Zari is a hard source to build a system from, because the sheen is doing half the communication - the mark has to survive being flattened to one colour on a box or a care label, where none of that is available. Systems built against that constraint usually end up stronger than ones drawn purely on screen.
KayaGo connects African farmers directly to global consumers authentic, home-grown produce delivered straight from the source.
I built the full brand identity: a bold "K" mark symbolizing trade and movement, a green-and-white palette rooted in growth and trust, and brand applications across app, packaging, tote bags, and web.
The goal make the supply chain feel human and transparent, from farmer to doorstep.
Simple, engaging and modern. Great work!
