What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a collaborative, fast-paced design role where I can create branding, print and digital work, contribute to business objectives, and continue developing my creative and leadership skills.

I'm leading rebranding, promotional graphics and branded digital content for The Smart Money Show, helping the company exceed its annual LinkedIn growth target a month early. I use Adobe Creative Suite and Canva to make complex finance topics visually engaging while maintaining brand consistency across formats.

I also founded ACS Agency to deliver visual identities and logos for small businesses, managing each client through a clear four-stage process from briefing to final delivery. As Media Secretary and Digital Content Designer for Leeds University Union Islamic Society, I lead designers, manage social content for a 6,000+ member society, and produce print and digital materials for large-scale events.
