I structure complex information so it can be understood, used, and acted on.
This typically involves high-stakes presentations, data-heavy reports, or communication systems that need to scale — where clarity directly affects understanding and decision-making.
Alongside a part-time design leadership role, I take on a small number of external projects where structure, clarity, and visual thinking are critical.
Most of my work begins where content is already complex — but not yet clearly organised. That’s often where communication breaks down: in reports that are difficult to navigate, presentations that don’t land, or data that is technically correct but hard to interpret.
My background is in information design (The Guardian, Kantar), combined with product and delivery experience. I work across the full lifecycle — from early framing through to production-ready outputs and systems that teams can continue using independently.

What I do
This shows up in three types of work:
- Strategic presentations — investor decks, internal strategy, technical narratives
- Data visualisation and infographics — reports, editorial, dashboards, storytelling systems
- Communication systems — templates, guidelines, and repeatable visual frameworks
---
How I approach projects
Design is not a final layer — it’s a way of structuring thinking.
The work starts with clarity:
- what needs to be communicated
- how the information is organised
- where complexity needs to be reduced
From there, I develop visual systems that make the material clear, consistent, and scalable.
Where needed, I introduce structure — timelines, hierarchies, or delivery frameworks — so the design reflects the logic of the content, not just its appearance.

Clients and recognition
I’ve worked with organisations including The Guardian, The New York Times, Google, Deloitte, OECD, IBM, and the United Nations — typically on work where clarity, scale, and stakeholder alignment are critical.
- Information is Beautiful Award (Silver)
- Macmillan Prize for Illustration (Highly Commended)
- Work published in The Guardian, Fast Company, and The Atlas of Infographics (Taschen)

Working together
I work on projects where:
- complexity makes communication difficult
- clarity affects decisions, not just presentation
- the output needs to scale beyond a single deliverable
If you’re working on something along those lines, feel free to reach out with a bit of context — I’m happy to take a look and see if it’s a good fit.

Hey, I'm Manahil. Somebody's deciding whether to trust your business right now. Three seconds, no words read, almost entirely on looks. Slightly unfair. Very fixable. That's the job.
Graphic designer and UI/UX specialist, 6+ years, mostly with tech, eCommerce, real estate, wellness, and service businesses. Brand identity, logos, websites, apps, landing pages, social, packaging, print. The useful bit is that it's one person doing all of it, so your site doesn't end up looking like a different company than your logo.
Things people usually want to know:
🌸 "Can you work with what we already have?"
Yes, and I'd rather fix what's nearly right than charge you to start from scratch.
🌸 "What if I don't actually know what I want?"
Most people don't. That's a normal starting point, not a problem. I'll put options in front of you and you'll know it when you see it.
🌸 "Will you just do what I ask?"
Mostly. But if an idea's weaker than the one sitting next to it, I'll say so. You're paying for an opinion, not a pair of hands.
🌸 "How many revisions?"
I've never once counted them.
🌸 "How fast?"
First drafts in days, not weeks. And I don't go quiet halfway through.
Anything I didn't answer, just ask. Tell me what you do and who you're selling to, and I'll tell you what I'd change first, whether that's a full glow-up or honestly just a tidy.
