Words Fuel the Imagination

As a Pakistani-American, I am fortunate to be bilingual, fluent in English and Urdu, which is an especially unique Arabic tongue, being a rather motley combination ofArabic, Farsi, Turkish, Hindi, and English. Culture is embedded in every language and, in this way, my creative linguistic palette is multicultural. As a designer, my work blends multiple skills and media platforms—video, print, and drawing—and vocabularies. I am especially interested in the notion of communication as bridge-building. I like to think of it as connecting hearts, e.g. invoking empathy, raising awareness, building bridges.
