A note on practice

Children and women are not just the audience of my work; they are its co-authors. The questions they ask are the ones I try to design around.

Heading to Lab4Living at Sheffield Hallam, September 2026.

I'm midway through an MFA in Design & Healthcare, a journey that has taken me to Belgium with LUCA School of Arts and to Portugal with the University of Aveiro. In September 2026, I'll begin my next semester at Lab4Living and Sheffield Hallam University.

Before returning to study, I had nine years of experience across design, communication, and community work. Five of those at Teach For Pakistan, leading strategic communications, shaping stories, and designing experiences that helped bring people together around a shared purpose.
