What Makes Ishraq Unique?

My number one strength is my
Creative Mindset
I am very imaginative and pay close attention to how things look.
As an agile thinker, I often come up with new and interesting ideas.
I want a career that's about enjoying novelty and change, where I am not stuck in a routine. It's an ability I have used throughout my education, having a talent for seeing the details and patterns in problems.

My passion is to explore
The Emerging Technologies in Design
Through interdisciplinary and hands-on approaches, I tackle complex design challenges using visuals, utilizing the latest technologies to push the boundaries of creative expression.

Based in Los Angeles, California

Customer-Centered Product Design

I design intuitive, human-centered experiences that turn complex challenges into purposeful, usable solutions. Whether it's mobile UX or immersive environments, I focus on creating products that solve real user problems through a balance of function, innovation, and empathy—always starting from the customer’s needs and working backwards.

Visual Storytelling with Purpose

I translate abstract ideas into visual stories that resonate. Using media from analog print to AI-powered motion, I bring clarity to complex topics—whether to inspire environmental action, spark reflection, or support a compelling product vision.

Inventive, Cross-Disciplinary Thinking

I thrive at the intersection of design, technology, and emerging science. From quantum computing to AI, I explore how frontier technologies can shape the future of human experience. I believe that innovation comes from curiosity and boldly connecting ideas across disciplines to deliver unexpected yet effective solutions.

Strategic Brand Systems

I craft cohesive visual systems that build trust, clarity, and emotional connection. My approach blends cultural insight with modern aesthetics—designing everything from brand identities to product narratives that are both authentic and scalable, with measurable impact.
