Co-Editor-in-Chief
Ambidextrous Magazine

I enjoy designing and creating products that allow people to collaborate freely and creatively, impact the world in a positive way, and remain in-touch with the ever-changing world around them.

You will normally find me discussing new HCI trends, applying design methodologies, on the lookout for new cafes, soaking in everything visual, and immersed in multidisciplinary endeavors.

I am fervently proud of my Pakistani and Kashmiri heritage. Though I enjoy living in sunny California, I am remain an Oregonian at heart.
