	Our Mother’s GardenPrint Editorial
Tools used: Indesign + Photoshop March 2022
	Our Mother's Garden: The Bay Area Muslim Community Through the Lens of Motherhood is my love letter to the Bay Area. 
Growing up in a large Muslim community, I always felt like I had many mothers. My curiosity with the Bay Area’s multi-ethnic Muslim community led me to the "Bay Area Muslim Study" researched by Farid Senzai and Hatem Bazian. I was compelled to understand the narrative behind this research, thinking about the journey of&#38;nbsp;of mothers who shifted to the Bay Area and built a foundation for this ever-growing Muslim community. I reached out to the daughters of these Muslim women in leadership and orchestrated interviews focusing on the concept of motherhood. This publication is a compilation of those interviews complemented with excerpts from the "Bay Area Muslim Study."



	

Process &#38;amp; Design Thinking:
	 
In the interview spreads, each mother-daughter duo has a coordinating color that represents their identity through the use of their motherland’s national flower. The images were provided to me, which include pictures of objects that represent and remind the mothers of their motherland. The mothers' beautiful hands are displayed in the opening spread of each interview to symbolize their act of "building." Each interview ends with a handwritten note from the mother responding to the question, “What does it mean to be...” in accordance to their identity.To contrast the interviews, excerpts from "The Bay Area Muslim Study" include a heavy use of the color blue to represent the colors of the beloved San Francisco Bay. A thick Sans Serif typeface is in juxtaposition to the decorative language of the interview spreads. &#38;nbsp;The book is printed on a Stardust speckled paper and the covers are printed on a textured blue, green, or pink paper.

Tools used: Indesign + PhotoshopFall 2021


	Chaand Ka Gaana, which translates into the “Moon’s Song,” is a publication that bridges the narrations of three countries that were once one. The divide of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh stems from the 1947 Partition which is classified as one of the largest human migrations in the world. All under one night sky, they follow the Moon’s song to find solace for their people.

	Process + Design Thinking:&#38;nbsp;
	My design choices focus on the unification between the three ethnic groups. For example, the words “Chaand” and “Gaana” are the shared words of “Moon” and “Song” between the three languages of Urdu, Hindi, and Bengali. The cover is meant to emphasize or evoke the feeling of a partition between languages, which is why if you’re an English speaker your first instinct is to view it vertically. As for colors, the design decision behind the blue represents the moon and the three shades of green are in accordance to the green in each country’s flags. The shared appreciation of the color green between the three country’s emphasizes the union between them. The magazine is printed in Newsprint to replicate a newspaper.

We Wrote Obituaries While Praising Our GodBook Installation

Tools Used: Illustrator + Indesign + Photoshop June 2023&#38;nbsp;


	We Wrote Obituaries While Praising Our God was my capestone for the Design Media Arts program at the University of California Los Angeles. A book installation that holds a collection of obituaries of attack victims from Islamophobic incidents. The events are narrated through fragments of a short-story written by my dear friend, Shania Jafri.
Jannat-al-Baqi, translated as “The Garden of Trees” is the driving force of symbolism within this piece. As one of the largest graveyards in Medina, the neglect of its care amongst the Muslim Ummah speaks towards the carelessness and neglect that lies at the foundation of our humanity. As each martyr site in this piece is recognized, the native tree associated to the region of the attack contributes to a visual imagery of a “Garden of Trees” that is built.&#38;nbsp;

	Description:
	The introduction of the book holds an explanation of Jannat al-Baqi to the reader as well as an index to help digest the information.&#38;nbsp;For each martyr site, there is an identifiable tree and bird corresponding to the land of their people. 
As shown, this piece focused on nine specific instances: Christchurch Mosque Shooting in New Zealand, Malisbong Masjid Massacre in the Phillipines, Cave of the Patriarchs Massacre in Palestine, Peshawar Mosque shooting in Pakistan, Quebec City Mosque Shooting in Canada, Kembe Massacre in the Central African Republic, Albuquerque Shootings in the United States, Sinai Mosque attack in Egypt, the Chapel Hill shooting in the United States, and the Kattakundy Mosque attack in Sri Lanka.

	Shortly after the introduction, fragments of a short-story begins that is followed with a description of the attack.&#38;nbsp;



&#60;img width="2400" height="1500" width_o="2400" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c8d7f180e2b64ed94fce7834b5a8b062f52f65feb984e1157e77891c199d8f88/ig2.jpg" data-mid="222020114" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c8d7f180e2b64ed94fce7834b5a8b062f52f65feb984e1157e77891c199d8f88/ig2.jpg" /&#62;
&#60;img width="2400" height="1500" width_o="2400" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ccfd6aa5a7a27f32b9ed0715baa8a45252ba8bdb931d5ff0b08c09e13d67c251/ig3.jpg" data-mid="222020118" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ccfd6aa5a7a27f32b9ed0715baa8a45252ba8bdb931d5ff0b08c09e13d67c251/ig3.jpg" /&#62;
&#60;img width="2400" height="1500" width_o="2400" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e4bbcaa32c4d0ccd1256c1d8957cee2cc0e82fd4bd483a98677efda3f802025e/ig9.jpg" data-mid="222020117" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e4bbcaa32c4d0ccd1256c1d8957cee2cc0e82fd4bd483a98677efda3f802025e/ig9.jpg" /&#62;

	
	Once the attack is explained, the obituaries are presented through the symbolism of birds. In reference to Surah Al-Ma’idah, Verse 110 (in the Holy Quran) individual martyrs are represented as the birds of their land to symbolize life. The number of birds represent the death count of the incident.



&#60;img width="2400" height="1500" width_o="2400" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b5eb29dd4933b708ac494780a0a89f4180a955bc4973961f7fab3ac962b09f0/ig5.jpg" data-mid="222020116" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9b5eb29dd4933b708ac494780a0a89f4180a955bc4973961f7fab3ac962b09f0/ig5.jpg" /&#62;&#60;img width="2400" height="1500" width_o="2400" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bca042c35665c9bc2b9f3e60271c6b341e5a60cfda802ac403c7e9e70d5738f2/ig4.jpg" data-mid="222020115" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bca042c35665c9bc2b9f3e60271c6b341e5a60cfda802ac403c7e9e70d5738f2/ig4.jpg" /&#62;
	
	There are instances where there are no obituaries of the names of the martyrs due to the neglect of their nation’s government.

&#60;img width="2400" height="1500" width_o="2400" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/94dd4b65b7dc0b377f08e1952ca16538baba11455291fbcb07837c1ea6d88d1a/ig10.jpg" data-mid="222020119" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/94dd4b65b7dc0b377f08e1952ca16538baba11455291fbcb07837c1ea6d88d1a/ig10.jpg" /&#62;
	
	The book ends with a compilation of the trees collected from each region, making a Garden of Trees within the site of Jannat al-Baqi. 


	Installation:
	For the installation, the dynamic nature of the pilgrims performing Hajj moving on the pages represents how spirituality and community transcends violence. In other words, despite the pain we collectively feel towards the departure of our loved ones, we continue to write obituaries while praising our God.

	Reflection:
	This has been the hardest project I’ve worked on to date due to the intensive research and sadness filled among the pages. The size of the book carries a great width to represent the dimensions of a rifle. Some, if not all, were murdered with the use guns, which speaks on gun violence and the misuse of these weapons. An observation I noticed throughout my research was that majority of the killers attacked the martyrs during the congregation of the Friday prayers. Most of the time, it was while the prayers were in prostration, a highly vulnerable position.&#38;nbsp;

	Moving Through The Current is Issue 21 of Al-Talib Newsmagazine’s annual print publication. As the Design Director for the 2021-2022 year, I worked with a team of 6 individuals that primarily consisted of illustrators to create a magazine filled with articles and poems from our staff writers that responded to the following message:&#38;nbsp;Moving Through the Current highlights the resilience our Muslim communities have maintained in order to physically and mentally move through the hardships of current events and to enact social justice change globally.&#38;nbsp;Creative Director: Anne-Fatima SyedDesign Team: Sumaiya Kaiser, Syaal Sharifzad, Maizah Ali, Minnah Munif,

Student Ambassador ProgramProgram Coordinator: Branding + Marketing Strategist
Tools used: Photoshop + Illustrator + AfterEffects &#38;nbsp;
January 2025
	

Find Your Voice at the Symphony!
The Student Ambassador Program at the Symphony San Jose is an enthusiastic group of four Bay Area high-schoolers that bring a fresh perspective to the Symphony San Jose. This is an opportunity for them to develop skills in Social Media Marketing &#38;amp; Content Creation under the guidance of the Marketing team.&#38;nbsp;

I launched this initiative Fall of 2024 to bring in a younger voice to a space that is dominated by an older demographic. As the Marketing &#38;amp; Graphics Coordinator, I was able to execute and fulfill my vision in January 2025!
 Shown are the Marketing Materials I created for this program including Merch, Social Media Assets, and a Handbook that I produced.&#38;nbsp;

	Save the Snowy PloverBrand Identity + Marketing Campaign + Print
Tools used: Illustrator + Indesign + Photoshop September 2023 
	Save the Snowy Plover is a Public Service Announcement campaign in Santa Monica to save the species from extinction.It hopes to bring awareness to the Santa Monica community that their habits are rapidly declining the population of the bird. This campaign is rooted in a local coffee shop’s efforts to spread information on the Snowy Plover and what efforts can be done to protect it.The production of the campaign includes a coffee sleeve, exclusive coffee menu, posters, a complimentary tote, and an informational brochure which folds out into a poster.

	Approach + Process: &#38;nbsp;
	
	
The brand identity is driven by the shape and texture of the Snowy Plover Egg, the main icon being the bird inside of the egg. The spots are the pattern on the bird egg. It is complimented with a Decorative typeface that pairs well with the artistic feel of the identity.&#38;nbsp;

	The logo and wordmark represent the feminine youthfulness and freedom of girlhood since the modern day “Cool Girl” embraces her feminity and owns her agency in life decisions.
 The Logo represents a Bow Icon which speaks towards that youthful femine energy.

	The Bow is created with two decorative and delicate R’s that represent the brand.

SmartStart School Learning CenterBrand Identity
Tools Used: Illustrator + Indesign + Photoshop June 2023 
	SmartStart School is a Developmental Sensory Relationship-based Education Preschool located in Santa Monica aimed to support special needs children.


The Five Senses Character Symbols:


	At SmartStart, there is an emphasis on Literacy, Language, and Sensory-Motor development. Because of this, I felt that it would be helpful for the students to have companions with them along the way in their journey since hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch help us understand the world around us. These illustrated characters represent the Five Senses and they are a critical part of the brand identity.
	The Character Symbols are tied to the children’s educational journey by being a constant supporting “friend” within the identity of the preschool, such as the notebooks and murals etc. 

Their outline, similar to the logo, emulates the energy of a destination point to communicate the Five Senses as “points” of growth.

Mural + Signage:&#38;nbsp;

&#60;img width="2458" height="1396" width_o="2458" height_o="1396" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d5c2f1f69547797f70dbb7a5c2aef4a48e064e62f3ef81f847027adcab8a363/signage.jpg" data-mid="222020163" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d5c2f1f69547797f70dbb7a5c2aef4a48e064e62f3ef81f847027adcab8a363/signage.jpg" /&#62;

	Problem:&#38;nbsp;The exterior of SmartStart fails to represent the warm and loving energy the school represents.
	Solution: Designing a mural for the Preschool to mark the school with a warm presence and welcoming first impression.&#38;nbsp;This mural reflects a roadmap of the Five Senses coming together with a community of helping hands, which represent the children. The side and top of the mural additionally serve as signage to locate the school. 
 

 School Material:&#38;nbsp;
	
SmartStart provides parents with the following materials to support and be informed about their child’s educational journey.&#38;nbsp;These materials were redesigned in a fun format to help the parents and children materialize and enjoy all the information they receive in an organized manner.

	
1. Daily Note for Inbox 2. Weekly Curriculum for Inbox 3. Journey Map Notebook&#38;nbsp;

Process + Inspiration:
	
I looked at preschools that exist with beautiful identities that fostered a welcoming and playful energy. Spaces that evoked feelings of exploration, excitement, and growth were key.Once inspired, notes of thoughts and endless sketches were made, launching me into the rebrand with the clear visual aesthetic I wanted to achieve.

	Problem:
	
SmartStart holds an honorable reputation within Los Angeles, but the Preschool’s brand is underdeveloped, outdated, and disconnected from its main message. From the logo to the poor website execution, SmartStart lacks a representative identity. Below are screen-grabs from the website.

Solution + Goal:A brand identity for SmartStart that allows special needs children to feel like they belong. 
Challenge:
Questions that framed my design thinking were: 1. What does a space that fosters a positive environment for special needs children to learn confidently &#38;amp; feel appreciated look like? 2. How do colors impact children’s sensory systems? 3. How does the approach I take differ from branding a diverse and public preschool?

	Approach:
	The typefaces chosen were to drive the playful nature of the preschool while keeping accessibility in mind. As for the colors, they had to be bright and welcoming.

Logo Process:

	The original logo felt outdated and too similar to other Education logos. However, I did appreciate how the typography held character.These were a few drafts of experimentation but none of these versions felt right and read as a logo. I wanted the logo to still encapsulate the playful energy of the original logo.However, there was one sketch that I felt had potential...
Drawing upon the word “start!” this was trying to represent a destination pin, but with a heart to show passion. This one was a suprising since it was an experimental sketch, but it seemed the most interesting. A challenge I came across while designing this logo was that it was lacking an immediate recogition in representing Education. 

After committing to this design, 47 variations were made.

Reflections:&#38;nbsp;
	This project was very exciting to me since I’m fascinated by how environments can come to life through the magic of branding. Designing the logo was the most challenging part of the project for me but once I had a clear idea of the direction I wanted to take with the logo, the identity was easy to form. I’m really proud of the Five Senses Characters because I never really considered myself an illustrator, but this really allowed me to tap into my doodling obsession and take it up a notch. The characters also drive the concept that in a world that doesn’t welcome those with disabilities, they will always have a friend to protect them. Overall, this is the work that I really love to do. Places that help others deserve really beautiful identities and I can only hope that I have a chance to do projects like this for the rest of my life.
