Besides teaching, he has an active personal design practice where he has designed advertising campaigns, books, magazines, branding, apps, etc. He has been actively involved in training individuals and groups for more than a decade. Currently, through a grant from USEFP, he is training faculty from 4 different universities across Pakistan and mentoring 2 design residencies. He also provides professional skill upgrading trainings of professionals working in the UX/UI field.

He believes that the maddening pace of life these days has put kind of pressures on an average person the like of which were rare just a few years back. The demands at work as well as home, the digital lifestyle and the not-so social media interactions have created an immense amount of stress resulting in low productivity and inhibited

creativity. To address these issues he conducts trainings in Therapeutic Art affording an opportunity to get out of a constant ‘doing’ mode, literally be in the moment, be present and develop the capacity to be more mindful and conscious of oneself both in the personal and professional spheres.

His workshops in design thinking and creative practices allow participants to solve problems, enhance critical analysis skills, utilize responsible decision making and out of the box solutions. Over the years he has worked with clients such as GSK, Getz Pharma, Dawn Group, Hashoo Group, Chen One, Pakistan Tobacco, Institute of Architects Pakistan, etc. In his free time he does calligraphy, grows vegetables and reads.
