Gulf Extrusion, a Dubai-based company, wanted to launch an internal campaign to motivate staff and drive this year's sales targets. I designed the full campaign and branded the workplace environment to create daily visual reminders that kept the team focused and goal-oriented.
final logo - after some input from client.
Internal campaigns wear out faster than external ones, since the same fifty people walk past the wall every morning. Treating the sales target as its own mark with badges and polos is probably what keeps it alive past month three; which held up longer in practice, the environment graphics or the wearables?
You're absolutely right — the environment graphics created strong initial impact, but it was the wearables that had longer staying power. Badges and polos travel with the person, spark conversations, and carry the message beyond the physical space. The wall graphics became part...

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.
Very cool logo! 🙌
VIETNAM, Y3K — FLORA Museum Challenge
For the FLORA Museum Challenge, I chose the Incense Burner with Dragon Spout, a Vietnamese artifact from the 1st–3rd century in The Met’s collection ( https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/53862 ), and reimagined it through a Y3K lens.
I wanted to connect an ancient object with a familiar image of Vietnam today: a woman riding a scooter. The dragon-shaped incense burner became a futuristic chrome vehicle, while traditional Vietnamese clothing and the conical hat were transformed into synthetic future wear.
I built the entire visual world in FLORA, from the clothing and accessories to the dragon scooter, environments, stills, and final video. Using AI as a world building tool, the project imagines how Vietnamese visual culture might evolve into another timeline while still carrying traces of its past.
Love the direction with this! The references to Vietnamese culture is so unique!
