Hi, I'm Zaki. For more than 20 years, I've helped startups, established companies, and global organizations build brands that inspire trust, stand out in competitive markets, and create a consistent experience across every customer touchpoint. I don't start with a logo. I start by understanding your business, your audience, and where your brand needs to go. From there, I create brand identity systems that work in the real world from presentations and websites to packaging, trade show displays, sales collateral, and investor materials. One investor presentation I designed helped a stealth startup secure $10M in funding. While every project is different, my focus is always the same: creating design that supports real business goals, not just attractive visuals. Many clients tell me I become an extension of their team a branding partner who thinks beyond the brief and approaches every project with a long-term perspective. WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME ✔ $650K+ earned on Upwork ✔ 587 completed projects ✔ 3,545+ tracked hours ✔ 20+ years of professional design experience ✔ Top Rated Plus ✔ 100% Job Success CORE SERVICES • Brand Strategy & Positioning • Logo Design • Brand Identity Systems • Brand Guidelines • Presentation & Pitch Deck Design • Packaging Design • Marketing & Sales Collateral • Trade Show & Event Graphics • Brochures, Annual Reports & Publications BRAND IDENTITY & LOGO DESIGN A successful brand is much more than a logo. I build complete identity systems that help businesses look professional and stay consistent everywhere they're seen. That includes logo design, typography, color systems, layout principles, visual language, and practical brand guidelines your team can actually use. Whether your brand appears on a website, presentation, product packaging, trade show booth, proposal, social campaign, or printed brochure, every piece should feel like it belongs to the same company. That's exactly what I design. PRESENTATIONS & INVESTOR COMMUNICATION I've designed presentations for startups raising capital, executive teams, sales organizations, and enterprise companies. A strong presentation isn't just visually appealing it tells a story that people can follow. I help transform rough content, outdated slides, spreadsheets, or complex information into presentations that are clean, persuasive, and easy to understand. Deliverables include: • Investor Pitch Decks • Sales Presentations • Executive & Board Presentations • Company Profiles • Annual Reports • White Papers • PowerPoint, Google Slides & Keynote Templates MY APPROACH Every project begins with strategy. I take time to understand your goals, audience, competition, and how your brand will actually be used. Only then do I begin exploring creative directions. The result isn't just a polished design it's a brand system that works across digital and print, grows with your business, and remains consistent long after the project is complete. WHO I WORK WITH I've worked with startups, Fortune 500 companies, SaaS businesses, AI companies, consulting firms, hospitality brands, manufacturers, healthcare organizations, real estate developers, and professional service firms. Whether you're launching a new business, refreshing an established brand, or preparing for investment, I bring the same strategic thinking and attention to detail to every engagement. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ✔ Strategic thinking not just execution ✔ Clear communication throughout the project ✔ Thoughtful, modern design built for long-term use ✔ Editable source files and organized deliverables ✔ Brand guidelines that are practical and easy to implement ✔ Print-ready and digital-ready assets If you're looking for a designer who combines brand strategy, visual identity, and business thinking to create work that looks professional and performs in the real world, I'd love to hear about your project. Click Invite, and let's discuss how we can build a brand that supports your business for years to come.

I am a Connecticut-based children’s book illustrator with more than seven years of professional experience. I have helped bring over 300 books to life for independent authors and publishers around the world. I graduated from the University of Connecticut with a degree in Communication and Digital Arts and have specialized in creating warm, expressive, and engaging illustrations for children’s books. My work includes character design, full-page illustrations, two-page spreads, covers, title pages, and complete book projects. Although my profile displays an hourly rate, I prefer to provide clear, flat-rate quotes based on the scope of each project. This allows clients to understand the total cost before work begins without worrying about hourly billing. In addition to illustration, my partner and I can help guide authors through the self-publishing process at no additional cost. We also offer professional book formatting, editing, proofreading, and publishing support when needed, making it possible to complete your book with one experienced creative team. I work primarily with Procreate, Adobe Creative Suite, and a professional pen-display tablet. I can adapt my illustration style to suit the tone, audience, and vision of each story while maintaining strong character consistency throughout the book. I truly enjoy helping authors transform their ideas into finished books. I am happiest when I am creating characters, building imaginative worlds, and bringing meaningful stories to life. You can search for QBN Studios on Amazon or Barnes & Noble to view examples of books I have helped illustrate.
