Hello!
I’m a creative professional with extensive experience in Graphic Design, Advertising, and Retail Environment, having worked with top agencies across Mumbai and Dubai. I’ve collaborated with global brands like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Mastercard, delivering impactful key visuals, social media graphics, branding, and logo designs. My portfolio showcases strong conceptual development and execution, ensuring projects are completed on time and with visual excellence.
Since February 2024, I've been working with Al Habtoor Motors, handling prestigious automotive brands like Bugatti, Rimac, Bentley, Mitsubishi, and JAC Motors. My passion for cars has truly paid off, as I’ve had the opportunity to contribute creatively to some of the most iconic names in the automotive industry.
Over the past few months, I’ve been a key contributor to my agency’s AI initiatives, specializing in Adobe Firefly to create advanced typographical and visually stunning, insightful visuals. I began my AI journey with Adobe FireFly and MidJourney, proactively developing inventive prompts to elevate creative output. Additionally, I’ve enhanced team efforts by crafting final Apple Keynote presentations that play a crucial role in client pitches and new business opportunities.
I’m always an important member of the team, contributing to final deliverables and ensuring our work is presented in the best possible light. I also have a passion for audio mixing, using Adobe Audition to self-learn and produce professional quality mixes. In my free time, I enjoy typography-based doodles, modifying diecast cars, and DJing.
