Hi, I'm Aaisha, a Graphic designer based in London. Before immigrating to the UK to pursue my MA at University for Creative arts, I completed my professional experiences as an Interior Designer in Dubai, after obtaining a BA in Interior design. As a result, I am predisposed to cultural diversity. I have always had an affinity for people management; I cherish the time spent in building strong foundations.
I believe the MA Graphic Design program at UCA has allowed me to carve a niche through extensive exploration of branding and exhibition design, print forms, graphic & visual communication supplemented with my spacial interior design skills. My ideas and innovations in design are heavily influenced by the human element. I strive to design for change, for education, and for community engagement. Through my current educational strides in graphic design, I intend to explore the ‘free forms’, both art and design in the form of story-telling
Beyond this, my hobbies lie in creating fine art through painting. I adore traveling, understanding new cultures and participating in high-octane adventure sports; I'm rearing for my next adventure as soon as the world breathes easy on the pandemic front!
