Unique Ideas.

A Cancerian by birth – inherited quality for detailing. Loves music and travelling. A fun-loving and jolly guy. Aggressive team leader and at the same time; a wholehearted team player. Adaptable, adjustable, and disciplined; I am a graduate of Fine Arts (Design) from the Central Institute of Arts & Crafts (CIAC), Karachi, with distinction. A past member of the creative team at Interflow/Ogilvy and Mather, Paragon, and IAL.

A rock-solid right-full Back of my team, when I used to play first-class Hockey for Karachi Police Juniors Team at Police Head Quarters, Karachi. Also excelled in Cricket for my college team, Table Tennis, and Badminton. Widely traveled and still love to get ready for traveling and explorations at any time, with my camera backpack.

I am an IMAGINEER, who carries loads of experience in heading creative teams for leading Ad Agencies, with a rich background of working with national and multi-national clients in the corporate sector and as a consultant in the Government sector – trained several art students, associates, and young executives from advertising world in design, visuals, production, copy, and client service. Have also been a visiting lecturer for many institutes.

A born artist by nature with the ‘defaults’ of audio-visuals, I have experienced and carried out quite several art forms like Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Sketching with Pen & Ink, Pencil, and Charcoal.

I enjoy and understand music. Passionate for photography. Frames, lighting, compositions, and takes are the instincts when it comes to cinematography and multimedia.

When it comes to Computer Graphics, I know how to tame my RAM-HUNGRY beasts. Since I am also skilled at manual talent, it is a matter of moments for me to convert my thoughts and visuals on paper or else on a computer screen. 

A thorough and creative advertising professional. Equally talented at manual skills and computer proficiency. An excellent Brand Developer, Strategic Planning Specialist, Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Photographer, DOP, Film Maker, Corporate Identity Expert, Set Design Concepts, Monument Design Concepts, Painter and Content Writer and Voice Over Artist for URDU language.
