Mahnoor Say Hello!
Mahnoor Rafi

BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design.

Currently in San Francisco.

A Pakistani designer based in California.

As I evolve as a person and creative, so does this website.

I believe strong design drives impactful stories.

Visual design influences the way we feel, see & think, making it a powerful tool. Communication can make or break the strength of your brand/product, and design is a crucial form of communicating.

Currently at Thuma, previously at Apple –

Worked in 1-10 person teams (productively).

Worked with graphic designers, strategists & technologists on the conception + design + production of digital product launches, user-facing digital experiences, webpage builds and re-designs, presentations, infographics and UI.

Creativity thrives on collaboration. My design process is reinforced by the people I've had the pleasure to work with. I value feedback, questioning every decision of the design process to create an impactful project.

Originally from Pakistan, I travelled 12,346 km to learn.

I owe this opportunity to my family, they are my North Star.
