Incredibly proud to be supporting Asana's mission to help humanity thrive by enabling the world's teams to work together effortlessly.

As companies continue to invest in improving the productivity of their workforce. Asana is leading the way in Human + AI Collaboration.

15+ years of enterprise sales experience with a constant focus on helping people, teams and companies to become more productive, successful and fulfilled in their work.

I’ve built and exited a start-up business and been part of the growth of early-stage British SaaS companies like Huddle as well as the unique environment of hypergrowth companies like Linkedin where I was a top EMEA performer and President Club Winner

I know what it takes to build teams, own territory, build pipeline and win business across multiple functions and geographies with a consultative and strategic approach. 

Over 7 years I consulted companies via Sales Confidence like Salesloft, Zoominfo, Gong, 6Sense, Demandbase, Cognism, SimilarWeb and many others build brand awareness, land sales hires at all levels and grow their revenue in the UK and EMEA.

CEO and Founder

I Design Brands and Content for Busy Founders & Creators | DM for Profile Revamp, Carousels, and Cheat Sheets...

I wasn’t a designer when I first joined LinkedIn. 

I was just a visitor, watching people come and go.

Great founders. 
Smart CEOs. 
Brilliant creators.

All getting  without any clear reason.

I even got connected with a few of them in search of the problem. 
Only to find the cure to it. 

Hoped on calls with multiple founders and Creators. And those conversations opened doors that led me to my destination. 

After they told me about their problems… Everything started clicking.

Their ideas were strong.
Their content was smart.

But their brand? 
Easily forgettable.

No matter how valuable their posts were…
→ They didn’t stop the scroll
→ They didn’t earn attention
→ And they definitely didn’t convert.

That’s when I noticed the missing part.
“Even the best content gets ignored if it doesn’t LOOK credible.”

That realization changed everything.

And to fix that problem…
I decided to get my hands on Brand & Content Designing. 

I designed everything that great founders and creators were lacking. 

And the results were shocking. 
With the new design strategy, my engagement wasn’t random anymore.

People stopped scrolling.
They started clicking.
They remembered my name.

That’s when I found my lane: 
“Designing the look of credibility.”

Now, I help founders, Creators, and Teams turn their LinkedIn presence into brands that actually get noticed and convert.

I’ve worked with incredible people with over 120k followers…
Helping them build brands for themselves and their clients.

If your content is great but your visuals don’t back it up, you’re leaving reach and revenue on the table.

Let’s fix that.

DM me and I’ll show you how to make your LinkedIn brand unforgettable. 💙

I turned 24 years old today.

And this is not a 24 years,
24 lessons post hahaha.

I want to share just
one beautiful lesson that
I learned in the last three
days of my 23rd year of life.

And it’s about enjoying THE life.

As many of you know,
I took a short break.
No new clients.
No posting.

Just managing my
current business, calmly.

No pressure to grow more. No stress.
Just normal work… and enjoyment.

And guess what?

I didn’t lose in business.
I didn’t lose in life.

I learned that I can handle
both together extremely well.

I spent four days in another city with
four friends I was meeting for the first time.

At first, while
traveling to meet them.
I felt very uncomfortable.

Like... we never met before, how will I live there?

But after 4 days,
when I was coming back,
my heart wanted to stay longer.

But some responsibilities needed me
in my city, so I had to return.

Those 4 guys and 4 days were the
happiest moments of my last year.

I practically experienced that
life is much more enjoyable when
you are with the right people.

I have no words to
explain how happy I am.

Thanks to everyone for
the support, and for the belief.

And a special thanks to
these fantastic four for giving
my 24th year a BRILLIANT START!

Love you all 🤍

PS: Follow my journey as I build a great design business while enjoying life to the fullest. In Shaa Allah.

I Design For Creators You Already Follow.

By the end of 2025,
I was working with 12 full time clients.

In 2026, that number is just 5.
And those one time projects in between. 

On paper,
it looks like I slowed down.
But in reality, I leveled up.

Those 12 clients were paying me
what 4 clients are paying me today. 

Same revenue.
Better results.
Less stress.

I intentionally let go of
unaligned, low potential ones
and focused on working with people
who value the work and skill.

That shift gave me,
- Stronger outcomes 
- Better creative space 
- Room to scale properly 
- More focus per client 

And no...
this doesn’t mean
I’m “fully booked forever.” 

I’m always open to
high potential clients who care
about actual work and growth. 

As the team grows,
clients will grow too. 

But the philosophy won’t change.

I’ll always choose
1 client at $5000 over 5 clients at $1000. 

I’m not here to do more work.
I’m here to do better work. 😉

PS. I once heard Jasmin Alic saying that 10 clients will kll you. 4 to 5 clients are enough to get booked. And that's when I started to figure out things. <3

Your LinkedIn banner isn’t just an image.
It’s positioning.

Most profiles lose attention
before the headline is even read.

Because the banner fails first.

I put together this to show:

 • What to avoid
 • What to include
 • How to keep it mobile friendly
 • How to make it instantly clear what you do

Simple rules.
Big difference.

Save this before you redesign your banner.

Or send me a message if you want me to design it for you ;)

P.S. A good banner doesn’t just look good... it works.

Dos and Don'ts of a LinkedIn Banner

I left my city for a few days.

Nothing’s wrong.
Everything’s actually fine.

Which is exactly why I’m going.

You see…
That’s the part we’re not used to.

We only pause when:
- We’re sick
- Something breaks
- Or life forces us to stop

But rarely when things are flowing.

And that’s a mistake!

Because rest isn’t just for recovery.
It’s maintenance.

So yeah…
I’m going for some free time. 

- Meeting a few LinkedIn friends IRL.
- Yapping without checking the time.
- Exploring a place that is new to me.
- Showing these friends what fast bowling really looks like 😄

Work can wait.
But ignoring life?
That costs you quietly.

So yeah…
Will be back soon.

Clearer head.
Better energy.
Inn shaa Allah 🤍

PS. When was the last time you took a break?

Your LinkedIn Success isn't delayed
because you don't have knowledge or ideas.

You don’t need another idea.
You need action.

Ideas are everywhere.
Execution is rare.
That’s the edge.

Pick one thing. Commit to it.
Show up consistently.

2026 won’t reward thinkers.
It’ll reward doers.

Now stop reading captions and start executing.

PS. What's holding you back from posting on linkedin?

Win on LinkedIn in 2026 

20,000 followers on LinkedIn.🔥
It took me 22 months to get here.

My first post went live in March 2024.

Today,
I want to tell you a little more
about the person behind the posts.

I’m 24,
living in Pakistan,
running a small design business
that gives me freedom, time with family,
space to think, and enough money to live comfortably.

I’m scaling it with one clear goal in mind:
$60k/month by the end of 2027.

I’ve worked with some incredible top creators.
Loved working with them <3

But the fun fact?
Working with new creators has been
the most fulfilling part of the journey.

I don’t have a
favorite food, color, or weather.
It all depends on the mood I am in.

Except one thing.
The M5 Competition. Always. heheh

From the outside, to some people
it might look like I’ve figured it all.

But seriously, I haven’t.

I still drink soda.
I still eat junk food.
I don’t wake up at 3am.
I don’t take cold showers.
I skip the gym more than 10 times a month.
I promise myself morning runs… and wake up at 12pm instead :).

Clients still ghost me.
I lose more leads than I close.
I feel about quitting.
I overthink.
I stress.

But I have dreams. "Big ones"

And I believe, Inn Shaa Allah
They will come true. <3

Because once upon a time,
even 20 likes felt impossible.

And today?
20,000 people chose to follow my journey.

So yes, dreams do come true. haha

This is just one of them.
1 down. 1,000 more to go.

Thank you to everyone
who supported, engaged, believed, and stayed.

This year we’re doing things that are...
Risky. Entertaining. Courageous.
But always kind.

Peace 🤍 Thank You All!

Your worst content
Isn’t the one that flopped.

It’s the one that never existed.

Because it trained you to hesitate.

The thing is…
Unposted content creates invisible training.

You unknowingly train yourself to:

- Over edit thoughts before sharing
- Delay ideas until they feel “safe”
- Confuse clarity with perfection

Basically…
You teach your mind that
hiding is smarter than showing up.

And that’s dangerous :)

Because fear doesn’t disappear.
It just gets better at sounding logical.

“I’ll post when it’s better.”
“Others are already saying this.”
“My audience expects high quality.”

Congrats!
Those are just excuses
but dressed well 😄

Here’s what I’ve noticed 👇

The posts I ALMOST didn’t publish?

- Built my confidence
- Improved my thinking
- Sharpened my voice
- Brought better conversations

Not because they were great.
But because they were honest and shipped.

So… Go for it!

Post it.
Even if it flops.

(Especially if it scares you.) <3

_

P.S. What’s one post idea sitting in your drafts right now 😄

Imagine hiring a salesperson,
Who can’t explain what you do.

That’s how most profiles work (And fail).

The thing is…

Your profile isn’t judged like a website.
It’s judged like a human.

People subconsciously ask:

“Can I trust this person?…
Without even talking to them.

In 6-8 seconds, they scan:
Photo → Banner → Headline → Activity

And if the story breaks anywhere…
Trust leaks.

A few trust leaks I see daily: 

- The headline promises clarity 
But the posts feel random 

- The banner screams “expert” 
But the activity feels unsure 

- The bio says “I help founders” 
But nothing proves who trusted you

That’s not just a design issue.
That’s a sales psychology gap.

A good salesperson does 4 things well:

→ Speaks clearly
→ Shows proof, not false claims
→ Makes the next step obvious
→ Stays consistent (one voice, direction, and reason to stay)

If your profile can’t do that…
it’s not selling.

It’s just standing there.
Like a tired guard at the front door.

P.S. If someone landed on your profile today…
Would you trust it to speak for you?
