I’m a Bangladeshi-American brand marketer & creative based in New York City. I’m inspired by gaming, pop culture & entertainment. I also love traveling and dancing which drives my motivation as well.

I love conceptualizing creative ideas. Directing unique events, securing unseeming partnerships and crafting impactful brand strategies is fascinating! The first time I learned about my love for creative marketing was as President of my high school’s dance team, StuyFlow. Our club membership dwindled, so my skillful team and I used all viable channels and mediums to make our presence and talent known! Furthermore, college organizations (such as Pilipinos of Hunter and Hunter College’s Asian Student Union) gave me many opportunities to create art in the form of socio-cultural events and leading its creative advertising and direction fueled my passion for this field. My favorite project is Mx. Asia, as I was able to utilize ALL of my favorite forms of art (photography, graphic design, marketing, performance arts and event planning) to use! I would love to be able to do this on a professional level and take my skills to bigger projects.

A huge inspiration of mine is Ariana Grande. The way she alludes and pays homage to celebrities and pop culture references that are dear to her, is something I love doing as well. I aim to honor those that inspire me while also creating something original and personal to myself.

I hope to tell my stories in ways that are unique while also creating the representation I always wanted for myself. It’s a dream of mine to represent the unrepresented creatives of my community and I hope to inspire others that may be too scared to tell their stories.

Thanks for checking out my website.
