Custom, hand-drawn concepts with layered textures and symbolism
Artwork rooted in lived experience, bringing authenticity to every project
How I Work
I start by reading and listening to the story. Then I craft illustrations that reflect the heart of the narrative — using my perspective as a British Muslim, parent, and dentist to find genuine points of connection. Every image is made with care because stories deserve to be felt.
let’s talk about your book
Whether you're a publisher, art director, author or book-loving brand, l'd love to hear about your project.
I work collaboratively and thoughtfully, taking time to listen and understand the heart of a story before translating it into imagery.
If you have a book, idea or commission in mind, or you're not quite sure where to start - get in touch and let's explore it together.
You can use the form to tell me a little about your project — there’s no pressure to have everything fully formed. I’m always happy to explore ideas, answer questions and talk things through.
