ABOUT

Hello, I'm Alina, a graphic designer & illustrator.
I believe that good design can make the world a better place. I enjoy designing with attention to detail and discovering new ideas through the process of creating. With colorful brainstorm sessions and concentrated thought, my ambition as a designer is to connect with others through my work in a positive way.

My specialization is in brand marketing, print design, and user experience. I’m passionate about developing strategic design solutions that support impactful missions and community development initiatives.

In addition to graphic design, I also love working on my personal art projects using various mediums including digital, acrylics, watercolor, and graphite. These projects draw inspiration from the natural world, diverse global cultures, and the intricate beauty of Islamic art.
