Manal Irfan
@manalirfan
Senior marketing and graphic designer specializing in brand stewardship and multimedia campaigns.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior marketing designer with extensive experience leading end-to-end creative execution across email, social, landing pages, digital ads, video, print and events. I collaborate cross-functionally with product designers, marketers, developers and customer teams to produce cohesive, high-impact brand work.
My work includes art direction, branding, packaging, trade-show booths and merchandising for studio and client projects, and I supervise external contractors and vendors to scale delivery. I led a brand refresh for Guru Studio and designed trade-show booths for MIPCOM, Kidscreen and Annecy Film Festival.
I founded and operate an e-commerce brand creating handmade jewelry and managing design, website, packaging, product photography, marketing and fulfillment. I also manage design and multimedia projects for community, educational and not-for-profit clients through my independent practice.
I have a track record of measurable results: fundraising and campaign redesigns that increased reach and revenue, and production of licensed work such as a 2025 limited-series logo collaboration. I prioritize data-informed creative, timely delivery, and maintaining consistent visual identity across all touchpoints.
