Usman Khan

Art Director

Lahore, Pakistan
My motto in life is to bite more than I can chew, then chew it. It just made sense when I realized how short life is and that I want to do everything. Over a span of 9-10 years, I have been a graphic designer, creative, copywriter, art director, photographer, illustrator, video editor, animator, marketeer, manager of campaign photoshoots and mentor to young and aspiring creative individuals.
While my main task is to understand the visual requirements and management of a brand; having vast experience in marketing, copywriting and other creative activities helps me understand projects in a unique way to deliver strategic and emotionally resonant creative that also successfully helps me help companies achieve their business goals in a fluid manner.
Beyond my professional life as a creative designer, I enjoy writing free verse, travel and making art and design.
