About me

I'm a multi-passionate artist and writer. I work across ink, graphite, gouache and digital illustration. My specific interests lie in creative projects that include poetic illustrations, expressive lines, textures, soft colors and themes connecting to myths, folklore, heritage, nature and anthropomorphic creatures and objects and a little bit of whimsy and macabre in everyday life.

I discovered book illustrations when I was getting a diploma in Fashion Design from Karachi, Pakistan in 2016 and I haven't stopped since. Today I have illustrated, designed and edited 40+ children's books, poetry books, coloring books and indie zines for authors, creative producers and publishing houses internationally as well as branding, packaging and editorial illustrations. I did MA in Studio Art in 2024 where my thesis focused on drawing and stream of consciousness. I've been seasonally contributing as an art writer and art editor for art and literary magazines such as The Missing Slate, ArtNow Pakistan and Femme Art Review since postgrad and also taught art history and research in art and design to undergrad students briefly.

My favourite artists and illustrators include Kiki Smith, Leonora Carrington, Aubrey Beardsley, Edward Gorey and Albrecht Durer.
