Mahnoor Cheema
Multimedia Artist ▪ Illustrator
Islamabad, PakistanI’m a designer who specializes in Illustration and dabbles in Brand. My curiosity is driven by philosophy, and I try to find inspiration in all and everything around me. I'm a firm believer in "Less is More", though oftentimes I enjoy infusing different art styles together to create something that is unique.
One of my biggest irks is how the commercialization of “design thinking” reduces our understanding of the practice.
