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
