About me
I am a risk management professional looking for opportunities in the creative industries. I have worked in the public and private sector for the past 18 years and hold project management and agile project management certifications. My experience has given me a number of transferable skills which I am keen to bring to new environments. Interesting to learn more about brand management, illustration, graphic design and NFTs. I create my digital illustration work using Affinity Designer and currently learning Adobe Illustrator, I launched a brand project called Spread Salaam (peace) in 2020 which focuses on football, you can see more of my work here - https://linktr.ee/Amrshah

- Salaam Tube Charity TeeOn Saturday 27th May I'll be taking my brand Spread Salaam and a selection of my football related illustrations to the London Football Book Market organised by Stanchion Books and South London Gallery. For the event I decided to make a limited edition T-shirt with 100% of the profits from the sale of the tee going to charity. I created a few different designs that communicated the brand style but also reflected elements or iconic landmarks of London. I put the designs on to social media and th
- Made in NorthamptonHey everyone, just sharing my latest project 'Made in Northampton', a collection of digital illustrations inspired by the shoe maker industry of Northampton. Having lived in this town for many years, I've spent some time visiting the factory stores and hearing stories from workers and people involved in shoemaking locally. Prestigious brands such as Church's, Tricker's and John Lobb are still manufactured here. To keep things local, the prints are produced by a local company and are being sold
- Salaam 22 - World Cup CollectionJust wanted to share my latest collection for my Spread Salaam / Peace brand which is inspired by World Cup tournaments over the years, especially those from my youth. I imagined being a larger brand with a brief of creating a number of products for a football capsule and so there are football shirts, tees, blankets and a football. A % of profits will go to charity. You can see the full collection on: www.spreadsalaaam.co.uk IG: @spread.salaam
- Nazar Collection NFTThis is my second NfT collection of digital artwork, it is based on the Nazar (evil eye) amulet which is used by the holder to protect and ward off the evil eye. There are 10 in total, holders can redeem an IRL print of their NFT and a % of sales will go to charity. The collection is available to view here - https://opensea.io/collection/amrshah
- NFT Art - Nine11 CollectionPleased to share my first NFT collection, a series of 911 digitally illustrated sports cars with varying attributes. It is available on the Solana blockchain and is available on launchmynft.io This is essentially an art collection and therefore there is no utility attached. However, NFT holders can request a physical1/1 print of their car. It's important that I can continue to support charitable projects through sales of my work, therefore 50% of profits from sales of this collection with b
- England Heritage Shirt - Launch CampaignSummer 2021: As part of my Spread Salaam (Peace) lifestyle brand, I created a launch campaign for my 'England Heritage' football shirt, which was a remake of the England Football crest. I refreshed the badge by changing all of the flowers into colours of the flag of immigrants that make England the rich cultural melting pot that it is today. Two videos were made for the campaign and I am currently planning the next one which will come out later this year. To support the launch of the shirt, I
