What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create meaningful visual stories through branding, film, illustration, posters, and collaborative creative projects where strategic design and strong visual identity can make an impact.

I've contributed art direction, promotional design, visual development, props, and production artwork for Red October Films' feature film Bonolata Sen, helping maintain a cohesive visual identity from concept to on-set execution.

Previously at Wee Hours Cinema, I produced motion graphics, illustrations, and digital campaign content, including complete doodle artwork for the official eTDS User Manual. I also create original apparel graphics, print-ready artwork, movie posters, typography, and live caricature portraits.

I'm pursuing an MFA in Drawing and Painting at Khulna University, researching Bangladeshi cinema-poster evolution and art-and-crafts education. My practice brings together visual storytelling, academic research, and meaningful creative work for brands, films, and communities.
