My Journey
My endeavor to learn visual communication began with an attempt at creating an advert during my post-graduation. Besides its simplicity, it was an important source of inspiration for me. Ever since I have relished the idea of visual communication and enjoy creating concepts and artworks to express them.
A semester on integrated marketing communication helped me further in understanding the connection between marketing objectives and artistic ingenuity. Before starting my career in design, I studied graphic design and 2D Animation at Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics.
Currently, I'm working as a Senior Design Consultant at KPMG’s in-house agency called Design Hub. My design career have taught me how people navigate and interact with digital spaces. I have learned the art of storytelling, and how to use both vertical and lateral thinking while designing. In short, I design solutions for complex creative problems.
Testimonials
I met Abu during the course of a design workshop and instantly fell in love with his work. Abu has an incredible grasp on the nuances of the design applications and the design process itself, from the brainstorming stages to finalization. He has a fabulous approach to interactive design and a keen understanding of UI | UX. To top it all, Abu has a very shy and quiet demeanor that it's a good thing his work speaks louder than words.
Abu will be an asset to an organization he chooses to work with. I am fully confident that he will be able to provide an innovative and creative approach to business by keeping the customer at the center.
