I can help.

About
Design that starts with looking.
I’m Emaan, a graphic designer in Dubai. I build identities, packaging and campaigns for founders and small teams.
I came to design through street photography, and the habit stayed. Before I draw anything, I look at where the brand will actually live, whether that’s a shelf, a shopfront or someone’s feed, and design for that.

FAQ
Before you ask.
A full identity usually runs about six weeks. Packaging or a single campaign can be two to four. I’ll give you a dated plan before we start.
Most identity projects land between $2k and $10k depending on scope and the number of touchpoints. You’ll get a fixed quote after our first call, with no hourly surprises.
Yes. I work remotely with teams across Europe, the Gulf and beyond. For packaging I can coordinate with your local printer.
Two rounds on the chosen route, plus small fixes through final delivery. In practice, a clear brief means we rarely need both.
Organised source files, print-ready exports, a guidelines PDF, and web-ready assets. Everything is yours to keep.
Primary and secondary marks, a colour and type system, a brand guidelines PDF, social avatars and favicons, and the stationery your brand needs. Everything arrives as organised source files with print-ready and web-ready exports.
Yes. I design dielines, label systems and print-ready files, and stay with your printer through the first proof so the printed pack matches the design.
