A fascinating journey!
My journey as a designer is truly an unexpected adventure. With a background in Business Administration, my sights were set on becoming a Chartered Accountant. But fate had other plans for me. It was during a university event that I stumbled upon the captivating world of graphic and user experience design.
In 2016, I took my first steps into this new realm as a graphic designer, diving into platforms like Upwork and Fiverr. Little did I know, this would mark the beginning of an incredible journey. Over the years, I've had the privilege of collaborating with more than 500 clients, crafting designs that leave a lasting impact.
From shaping company branding to crafting compelling marketing materials, sales collateral, and UI designs, my work spanned across diverse industries such as EdTech, Fintech, and SaaS platforms. But it didn't stop there. I delved into the realm of web design, mastering the art of creating highly interactive Webflow websites.
My dedication and passion for design didn't go unnoticed. In 2018, I was honored to be recognized as one of the finest freelancers in Bangladesh, a testament to the countless hours poured into honing my craft. Little did I know, this was only the beginning of a journey filled with creativity, challenges, and endless possibilities.
A golden opportunity that altered my career path
In 2019, a pivotal moment presented itself, altering the trajectory of my career. It began with a collaboration with none other than Mr. Edward Cullen, a titan in the realms of tech entrepreneurship and education, and a notable contender for the New York City Mayoral race.
My journey took an unexpected turn as I was welcomed into the folds of Impact USA Group, spearheading as the Chief Design Officer for the prestigious Harlem Tech Summit. This event, a beacon for industry leaders, tasked me with orchestrating design solutions that would resonate with the tech-savvy audience.
But that wasn't all. I found myself at the forefront of Mr. Cullen's Mayoral Election Campaign, entrusted with the responsibility of shaping the visual narrative that would resonate with the diverse populace of New York City.
Immersed in this whirlwind of creativity and innovation, I found inspiration igniting within me. It was then that I made a pivotal decision to fully immerse myself in the field of design. Armed with determination, I conducted a thorough S.W.O.T. analysis, identifying my strengths and weaknesses.
Fueled by this newfound clarity, I embarked on a journey across the Atlantic, setting my sights on the vibrant city of London. There, I enrolled in a Master's degree program specializing in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at the esteemed University of Westminster.
As the days turned into nights filled with rigorous study and hands-on exploration, I found myself pushing boundaries and discovering new horizons within the realm of design. And as the culmination of my efforts approached, I proudly emerged from the program with a distinction, equipped with the knowledge and skills to carve my path in this ever-evolving field.
