everything elseabout me





Hi, I’m Shanzah! I am a designer and art director based in Southern California.

I graduated from  Boston University  with a major in Advertising, specializing in Art Direction, with my minor in art.

I’m passionate about transforming ideas that appear simple into experiences that resonate. My work spans branding, editorial, motion, and digital design, guided by a curiosity for how design can connect people, stories, and ideas.

I approach each project with a balance of creativity and intentionality, exploring color, type, and composition to craft visuals that feel thoughtful, cohesive, and unexpected.

Outside of design, I find passion in discussing Bravo reality tv,  rewatching  2000’s romcoms, and cuddling with my cats.

I would love to connect, and chat about all the above!
