I’m a proactive and thoughtful individual. I am currently on route to finish masters programme at the University of Dundee. My goal as an architect is mastery in two main fields, digital representation and workshop model making; as a graphic designer, to form a brand through typography and social media to expand their reach and as an event manager to create bustling functions, for which we received 2 society of the year awards. Variety allows me to hone my multitasking and creates a healthy balance between academics and extra-curricular. My aim is to nurture efficiency and honestly in the design process. To combine innovative methods to tackle problems facing global communities.

I am happy go extend my gratitude to join a team of ambitious individuals. I have successfully achieved a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Dundee. My goal as an designer is to employ the best knowledge of organisation and aesthetic management. I believe that design should be a tool to aid the intake of an idea or product. My affinity is towards sustainable materiality, striking but sensitive colour pallets, my aim is to create radical yet relevant work which aims to be the forefront of issues. I am also currently taking part in competitions, whilst also designing an extension for a client to gain experience.

My role in life is to pursue architecture as a profession. I am currently underway on a masters degree from the University of Dundee, during my time at university and practice, I have gained a variety of skills in the design and layout of projects. This is done successfully through a consistent language throughout design and ensuring the quality of work is improving with each iteration . I am passionate about the digital application of design tools and practice regularly to improve my skills in aesthetics and branding.

As I had a been a student of medicine before my journey into the architecture, a studio focusing on the health was of crucial interest to me and an opportunity for critical hindsight of my former hospital environment to a now intimate process of architecture.

Further aims were the analysis of mental health challenges emerging increasingly in our cut-throat gradational social order, a glimpse of which was felt in my academic transition from one fundamentally specialised course to another. And the urgent struggle for environmental harmony before us collectively

During my time at university I have produced a significant number of publications which summarised my projects and their development. I have discovered this was the best way to present complicated processes which span months to perfect. One of the best things I learned from this is the art of book making as it requires careful consideration of styles and graphics, tuning of rhythm and order in which work is presented down to the type of paper used in the publication.

My graphics design journey began as the lead on the design team of my university's Islamic Society. The society was discovered to be very busy having many events throughout the year many of which arose from the affiliations with many charities and parent organisations funding the annual running of the society. My tasks included the collecting information about upcoming events by using event forms, organising various logo's and their different variants of different sponsors. Arabic calligraphy and Islamic geometric patterns were often employed to allude to the rich history of Muslims in the
