Ashraf is a designer with optimism.

I am intimate and speedy with my swiss army knives: Figma, XD, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I organize my life with OmniFocus, Evernote, and several markdown-formatted notes.

I adore typography and writing analytically. I roam the city with my motorcycle and hoon cars on weekends. Sundays are reserved for cups of peppermint tea and clearing out my Instapaper queue.

I believe wisdom and mentorship are critical to my future success.

And I’m still trying to be better. We all try.

I’ve worn many hats: 

• Senior Interactive Art Director in DC at an ad agency
• Senior Art Director in NY at a pharma ad agency
• Co-founder of a non-profit to teach basketball to kids
• Waiter, bus boy, and manager at three different steakhouses
• Senior Designer at a startup creative firm
• Tech Director at a startup media company
• Print Shop Manager of a mom-n-pop shop

I’ve also received recognition:

• 1st place—MusFit app, HalalHackathon
• 1st place—Emerging Stars (Omnicom)
• Distinguished community organizer—LiftUp Basketball
• And a tiny featurette on NY Times
