Welcome to my website, which I designed myself. I am an Art Business Owner.  I have a passion for Art, Digital Design, Painting and Photography. Whether it’s a design made by humans, machines or the Creator of this world, I try to capture the moments with my camera and in my mind. I work Freelance on different projects tailored to the needs of my clients. It could be a photo shoot, portrait photography in the woods, or any Digital Design work. I can also provide post-processing of your Photos and arrange them into a digital/physical album. Anything you can imagine can be converted into a beautiful art masterpiece. I would love to hear from you about your project needs. I am excited to own a new Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300, which helps me convert my digital work into a high-quality physical product.

I graduated as a Medical Doctor from Rawalpindi Medical University, Pakistan. Later, I got a license to work as a doctor in various medical fields in Pakistan. I have experience working in many specialities like Neurology, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Burn Centre, Obstetrics and gynaecology, Tuberculosis & Chest Diseases. I have also worked as a medical teacher for nurses and a medical transcription teacher for adult students. I still hold a Pakistani Medical License. After playing my role as a doctor in Pakistan, I came to live in the UK and started to study Digital Design since I had admired visual design from childhood.

My first Design School was an online Graphic Design school, TGDS Australia. Apart from Design, I continued studying medical-related subjects like the Clinical Research Professional Development Program at Kriger Research Centre, US. For personal growth, I attended a Research Writing and publishing program at the California Institute of Behavioural Neurosciences and Psychology, CIBNP. I became a published author on Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Here in the UK, I work as a Freelance Graphic Designer on the PPH Platform. I also worked as a Translator & Interpreter and Photographer. I have also taught the Urdu Language to young children.

I have also done some Personal Development Courses on Meditation, Yoga, Health and well-being, Conscious Parenting, and Spiritual Healing, especially after my divorce.  I can personally coach on these topics and digital design. Apart from my professional interest in human life, life sciences, and human anatomy, I am a nature lover, bird lover, author, music lover and singer. I love to share my nature experiences through a camera lens and refine the art with my artistic skills to provide high quality and value to my clients.

I obtained my post-graduate qualification in Psychiatry from Cardiff University in October 2021. Then I achieved distinction in my Graphic Design course from Blue Sky Graphics, London in March 2022. I finished the UX UI & Web Design Course from Blue Sky Graphics with distinction in December 2022. Now. I can create and design websites using Elementor and WordPress.
