’m Humera Shaikh, an Islamabad-based graphic designer specializing in brand identity and UI/UX. With over 2 years of experience crafting visual stories for clients ranging from startups to established enterprises, I blend strategic thinking with a love for vibrant, user-centered design.
Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and Illustration, I’m driven by the challenge of transforming complex ideas into simple, engaging visuals. When I’m not sketching wireframes or refining color palettes, you’ll find me exploring local street art and experimenting with motion graphics.

About Humera — independent design studio in Islamabad.
The path, so far.
- 2019
First steps in design
Picked up graphic design while still in school — early posters, social tiles, and personal lettering experiments that taught me to look closely at letterforms and grids.
- 2021
Studio internships, Islamabad
Started learning the craft inside small studios — packaging, editorial layouts, and brand systems. The cadence of files, feedback, and ship dates clicked here.
- 2023
Going independent
Took my first solo client briefs end-to-end — identity, web, and print, working with founders across Pakistan and the GCC.
- 2024
Studio Folio takes shape
Began running my practice as a one-person studio, formalising the way I scope, sketch, and ship. Built relationships with repeat clients who keep coming back.
- 2026
Edition 02
Refreshed the public catalogue — slower, quieter, more editorial. New monograph site, tighter case studies, and a shorter list of disciplines done well.
The ledger, by appointment.
