Hello 👋🏼
My name is Anika Qureshi. I am a freelance Art Director, Graphic/Digital Designer (UX/UI), and Artist (among other things). From Canada, currently living in Toronto, I have also lived within diverse cultures and across a few countries. Life, people, and experiences have led me to approach projects from a global community perspective. I believe that design is a key element (and asset) to helping plan, build, excite, and open people's minds. As is art in its many forms. Often feeling as if I am trying to solve a puzzle, simplifying, and making ideas accessible, to get to the heart of the matter. And to bring HEART in.
Discussing creative solutions that point towards the betterment of our future, researching (and listening for) the sweet spots, and making space for empathy, exploration, and collaboration with small teams—because I think we support each other and listen more, and ideas can thrive. Designing the details from the concept to bringing it to life. The intricacies of design systems that seek to bring clarity and beauty (internal and external) fascinate me. Working on projects with people who care, respect others, and value life, in its many facets... is where it's at.
Reach out to start a discussion if you like. I enjoy a good coffee chat, in person or over Zoom.
