Hi, I'm Samia. I'm a graphic designer & an artist based in Punjab, India.

Some of my skills include user research, packaging design, branding, photo styling, publishing design: book design, book cover design, web design, illustration, UI/UX design & animation. I also work with ceramics and play guitalele, write, sing & compose music in a Delhi based band called Station I K I G A I. Oh and I work as Creative Director for my family run artist residency called Preet Nagar residency.

Patterns designed for the tea pouches using the archives of a 5th generation Indian wood & metal block printing family business.

Space. A Muslim woman finds solace in the Hijab and she feels it shelters her and leaves her to her own space.

Poster and logo for Preet Nagar Residency

Exploring the North East

The sketch for this was made in a jeep while driving up to Ziro in Arunachal Pradesh from Guwahati, Assam for a music festival. Nobody could quite say how long the drive would take. Everybody we asked had a different answer. My friend and I braced for a 7 hour drive but it ended up being close to 12 hours and to top that off we had a drunk driver who kept taking "breaks"! After getting the taxi driver out of one of his various drinking stops and banning his breaks (only in India) - to calm down, I started to sketch the magnificent tropical forest and all the signage BRO ( Border Roads Organisation :)) had put through the endless mesmerising forest. A rare long drive where you see the jungle and barely any human settlements.

The Arts

Sketchbooks and diaries record my travels and my learnings. I'm always working on a new etching, a silk screen print, a poster, a song, a ceramics peice or street art

Quality

I work with the best talent in the world. Through my studies in Srishti, Bangalore, Il Bisonte, Florence, Italy and working with street art in Spain and with Door to Asia in Japan I'm lucky to have met so many creative people who have different approaches to art and design. We are constantly learning from each other. I keep myself updated on the latest trends and writings in design and what the future needs from design.

Lady next door

While studying in Florence, I used to often look outside my room's window where this lady would occasionally be looking back at me, if she wasn't out buying groceries with her dog, or watching TV. She could have been about 80 and I used to think about her living alone, smoking as she watched people on the road go by.
