A Richmond, Va based Fashion Design student with a BS in Fashion Design and Merchandising at Virginia Commonwealth University, with experience in the construction and textile design for apparel and accessories. An American born Pakistani raised abroad in the United Arab Emirates providing a strong influence of Arabic geometric architecture as well as a world round look at islamic cultural experience and design research on the Mughal empire and its historical influence on modest fashion today. My portfolio shows my perspective through my well-adapted global upbringing and the realities of the cultural fusion that shaped my identity. It is the simple nature of what community means both locally and globally that I hope to appreciate and exhibit in my works as an artist along with opening up conversations between various communities in the east and the west
