Summary


Hello! I’m Ahsan Zahid and I am an accomplished Graphic Designer/Communication Specialist with extensive experience in designing compelling, entertaining, and informative rich media, marketing communications, ads, promotions, and branding initiatives for diverse industries. I am skilled in maintaining graphic communications and revising designs to align with current business / product needs. I am able to manage, mentor, and motivate strong teams, ensuring achievement of business goals.



 Organizations I’ve made a positive impact at include Digital Rights Foundation/Cyber-harassment helpline, Dunya News, Pink Lotus-the creative agency, Opus Communication, BitSource, Techsplines, Red Communication Art, and Maxobiz— my prowess is not limited by industry or company type.



Engaging and collaborative, I am skilled in conducting analytics and overseeing and standardizing cross-functional service delivery departments to improve organizational performance. I strengthened clients' visibility, brand awareness, and sales volume by designing multichannel campaigns including corporate branding, digital media, and print advertising. While others take pride in meeting all standards set before them, my passion is for delivering service that goes beyond organizational expectations, creating a win-win scenario for everyone involved! My expert domain knowledge always enabled me to articulate an innovative plan that focused on enhancing effectiveness and yielding constructive improvements.



Please feel free to contact me [email protected] with any thoughts, comments, or questions about my work— I’m always interested in making new professional acquaintances.
