“We recently worked on a project about the legacy of colonialism in Asia, for the international NGO, Oxfam. Muhammad created a striking visual style that was engaging for the target audience (18-35) and illustrative of the complex issues being highlighted by the film. His work was one of the key factors that made the subject accessible and more impactful to the viewer.”

”We’ve had an amazing experience working with The Design Desk
—this wasn’t our first time working with them, and it definitely won’t be our last! The process is always smooth, collaborative, and the results consistently deliver strong and impactful messaging that aligns with our mission as an NGO.
What stood out most was the ability to bounce around ideas and explore different creative directions. Ian quickly understood our concepts and brought it to life with efficiency and precision, which is especially important as these materials play a key role in our communications strategy.”
