PG Psychiatry, Cardiff University

Welcome to my website, which I designed myself. I am a Self-Employed, Sole-Trader, Freelancer, Content Creator and Side Hustler.  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. If you are interested in Wildlife, you can visit my portfolio and purchase my photos and videos to support wildlife.

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 to nurses and a medical transcription teacher to 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 have worked as a Freelance Graphic Designer, 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. I have designed Applications for iOS. I can now create Apps using Adobe XD.

I am based in Bowdon, where I live with my two boys. I design print and digital media to help businesses reach their maximum potential. I create engaging eye-catching visual content for anyone who needs it. I work at my stylish home studio connecting worldwide. I use an iMac, iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and Astropad App to create stunning designs and post-process my photos. The software is Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Indesign & Photoshop) and Adobe XD. I have a beautiful state of art home design studio in the beautiful suburbs of Bowdon. My favourite design styles are logo, branding, layouts and typography.

I am passionate about Birdlife I love travelling with my children for holidays and taking my camera. I can provide you with awesome headshots that will be memorable for years. Human memory is magical. Photography can help in keeping your beautiful memories alive for years. My Photoshop and post-processing skills can bring more life to your photos and enhance the quality of your images immensely. You won’t be disappointed by the quality of my work.

My Studio Equipment

The equipment that I use for my work is the latest design tools.  I love using these tools to visualise and enhance my creativity. The tranquillity of my studio environment is vital to my productivity. The Canon image PROGRAF PRO-300 adds great value and quality to my work. It helps in converting my digital art into high-quality physical products. I am proud to have my studio up and running with these tools. Every piece of artwork can be tailored to your needs and requirements.

I have a Canon R7 EOS Mirrorless Camera with a 100 – 400 mm lens, and a 600 mm telephoto lens for Wildlife Photography. An 18 mm to 150 mm lens for Portrait Photography and a flash gun for Nightlife. My interest and passion are for Birdlife. Apple Mac with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom are my favourite design tools. I have also used Apple Pencil, Astropad and iPad Pro for sketches and drawings. I can arrange my Art & Photo Exhibition with a cup of tea. For more information, contact me by email or mobile.

I joined the Mastery Program in October 2023 at Milan Art Institute, Florida USA to hone my painting skills. I am finding my unique style in painting which I have been doing regularly and I love the process. I enjoy making abstracts the most. I studied Medicine in College and later obtained my Post-graduate qualification in Psychiatry from Cardiff University but my passion for art was igniting inside me since childhood. I never pursued my career as an artist. But for the last 14 years l have been into Digital Design, Photography and Videography. Now l am into Painting and l love every bit of my learning journey in Painting. I have found the meaning of my life in Art and Painting. I love creating beautiful pieces of artwork and taking awesome photos of nature. My Photo of Robin has been chosen for a gallery exhibition.

I am looking forward to all the new possibilities unfolding in my life!
