Seven years, three chapters.
Immersive Tech Specialist · Senior Creative Designer
- Built digital twin simulation environments (rocket engine, MRI brain scan) with the team — Unreal Engine 5, Unity, Blueprint logic, simulation integration, and VR/AR delivery
- Collaborated on an AI agent project — built and integrated a Metahuman digital character into Unreal Engine 5 for web deployment
- Produced 2D/3D motion graphics, advertising videos, and client presentation materials — branding, editing, and animation in After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, and Photoshop, with AI-assisted workflows cutting concept-to-delivery by ~30%
- Used AI-assisted tooling — Claude, ChatGPT, and MCP-based workflows in Blender and Unreal Engine — for scripting, Blueprint logic, and UI/UX acceleration
- Produced 20+ photorealistic Blender product visualizations — PBR workflows, cinematic lighting
- Mentored team members on design standards, brand consistency, and quality execution
- Built hand-coded HTML/CSS banner templates and web-ready assets for internal and client-facing deliverables

- Designed and ran a structured onboarding process for two junior designers with no brand-systems background — documentation, graduated-difficulty tasks, weekly reviews. Presentation/branding task turnaround dropped from over a day to ~2 hours, matching senior-level speed; complex animation task turnaround dropped from 4-5 days to 2-3 days — within two months, freeing capacity for direct client management and higher-complexity work
- Produced bid presentations, 3D walkthroughs, and process-visualization films for major engineering programmes
- Created 2D/3D motion graphics, explainer videos, and photo montages, plus 30+ PowerPoint decks for international clients
- Designed website UI layouts with hand-coded HTML/CSS, and produced photorealistic 3D visualizations and UE5 walkthroughs in Blender and 3ds Max
- Built brand design systems for visual consistency across digital, print, and presentation formats — cut turnaround ~20% with reusable libraries
- Worked cross-functionally with fellow designers, engineers, architects, software/digital engineering teams, marketing, senior management, and international clients and VPs throughout
Freelance Creative Designer
- Delivered 15+ brand identity, campaign, and 3D visualization projects, working directly with founders and business owners
- Designed brand identities, UI layouts, marketing assets, and digital content using Adobe Creative Suite, Blender, and 3ds Max — including hand-coded HTML/CSS for banner templates and web assets
- Produced motion graphics, 2D animations, and 3D product visuals for campaigns and social media content
- Managed multiple concurrent projects with strong client retention and repeat engagement
- Directed client briefing, creative strategy, and final delivery independently
- Worked directly with CEOs, marketing teams, printers, and key stakeholders — owning the full client relationship independently
Ideas, made visible.
I'm from Sopore, a small town in North Kashmir — a place better known for apple orchards than design studios. I taught myself the craft far from any creative hub, turned curiosity into a profession, and spent seven years growing from a freelance designer into a senior creative trusted by global teams. The distance never mattered; the work did.
I'm a visualizer — I take an idea, technical or abstract, and make it real. My range runs across brand identity, motion, photoreal 3D, and real-time interactive work, and I treat all of it as one continuous problem, not a handoff between specialists: the same eye that shapes a mark also frames a shot, lights a render, and scripts an interaction.
I've proven that same skill across very different domains — engineering and infrastructure at a global consultancy, immersive tech and R&D building real-time simulations, and brand and marketing work owned directly for founders and clients. Different industries, same job: take something complex or abstract and make it real.
I'm open to remote, hybrid and on-site roles — I've worked across all three and adapt easily. I lead process and outcomes without needing a title to do it, and hold one standard everywhere: if it doesn't communicate clearly, it doesn't ship.
Different cities, teams, cultures and company types — from a small Kashmiri town to two of India's largest tech hubs, and remote work for clients worldwide. Range you only build by adapting to all of them.
Also on the toolkit: hand-coded HTML/CSS — built this very site — and Python fundamentals for AI-assisted automation. A technical edge most visual creatives don't have.

One skill, many domains.
Proven across domains
Seven years delivering across engineering and infrastructure, immersive tech and R&D, and brand and marketing — the same visualization skill applied to very different briefs, industries, and audiences.
Clarity, not just polish
Whether it's a technical spec or a brand brief, the job is the same: make the idea instantly clear. Precision when the work demands it, craft always — nothing ships that doesn't communicate.
Leads without the title
Designed and ran the onboarding process that took two junior designers from day-plus turnarounds to senior-level speed within two months — informal leadership, real, verified results.
Concept to delivery, alone
From first brief to finished asset — strategy, art direction, 3D, motion and final production handled by one person, so the original idea stays intact with nothing lost in handoff.
Good to know
Where is Zuhaib based, and what working styles has he handled?
He's based in Delhi NCR, India, and is open to remote, hybrid or on-site work. He started out in Sopore, North Kashmir, and has since worked on-site and hybrid across Delhi NCR and Hyderabad, and remotely with international clients — so he's comfortable across very different setups, teams and time zones.
Can you take a project from concept all the way to delivery?
Yes — that's the core of how I work. Strategy, art direction, design, 3D, motion and final production are all handled by one person, so the original idea survives intact from brief to finished asset.
What disciplines and tools do you actually cover?
Brand identity and visual systems, motion graphics and video, photoreal 3D visualization, and real-time interactive work in Unreal Engine 5 — using the full Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro), Blender, Figma, Substance Painter and AI-assisted workflows.
Have you worked with international teams and clients?
Yes. I've delivered visualization for global engineering and infrastructure programmes, produced real-time and 3D work for an immersive-tech team, and worked directly with brand and marketing clients — across industries and cultures worldwide.
How do you use AI in your process?
As an accelerator, not a replacement. Midjourney, Adobe Firefly and Google AI Studio for image generation; Runway, Gemini, Kling and Grok for video (Grok also for quick research); Claude, ChatGPT and Kimi as AI assistants for automation; and MCP-based workflows in Blender and Unreal Engine for scripting and Blueprint logic. All of it speeds up ideation and iteration — typically cutting concept-to-delivery time by around a third — while the final craft stays fully hand-controlled. I've also built basic Python fundamentals, enough to read, follow and lightly adapt the scripts behind these automation workflows rather than treating them as a black box. Also completed the Generative AI Mastermind course (Outskill) to stay current on the fast-moving side of this space.
What certifications have you completed?
Learn OpenUSD: Working With Prims and Default Schemas (NVIDIA), Learn OpenUSD: Learning About Stages, Prims and Attributes (NVIDIA), Generative AI Mastermind (Outskill), Unreal Engine 5 – Lighting, Fog & Post Processing, Blender & After Effects VFX Masterclass, Diploma in Graphic Designing, Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams.
Building something ambitious?
If your team or project needs someone who can own the whole creative arc — from idea to a finished, moving, interactive thing — I'm always open to a good conversation.
