I am a graphic designer Working in karachi for about the past 20 years with experience in most aspects of the design industry - print, advertising, multimedia and internet design. I'm well versed in most aspects of modern design production coupled with vigorous project management skills.
“Mission of designers is to make obsolete the smart things they did last year by doing smart things this year. its a heavy task, and designers are busy folks, sailing away on flights of fancy, pooh-poohing Taboos, reviving the classics, inventing new heresies, scandalizing the elders”.
