I design digital products, brand systems, and websites.
Then I build them.
That combination is rarer than it should be — and it's what makes the work land the way it does. There's no translation loss between the design and the thing that ships.
I'm a Co-Founder and Creative Director at Encrea Studio, based in Malé, Maldives.
Over the past eight years I've worked across healthcare, international development, education, and tech — with clients ranging from a 200-bed hospital to a World Bank-funded publication programme in Cambodia.
I've kept a sketchbook running alongside every project. The current series is observational studies of Maldivian marine species — unhurried, field-note work that has nothing to do with client briefs and everything to do with keeping the eye sharp.
Experience Design
I design products that are structurally sound, visually considered, and built around how people actually move through them.
Brand Identity
A brand is a system, not a logo. I build identity from the inside out, visual language and logic that holds coherent across every surface.
Web & Product Development
I build what I design. From Figma to a live, functional product, without losing design intent in translation.
Illustration
An eye trained on observation sharpens how I see proportion, texture, and detail in every system I design.
