I’m Shamnaz — a Dubai-based graphic designer crafting brand identities, publications and imagery with 13+ years of experience in design, retouching and print — currently at Explorer Publishing.
About
My work sits where craft meets clarity — layouts that read effortlessly, images retouched until they feel real, and brands that hold together from screen to print.
I’m a graphic designer at Explorer Publishing in Dubai, designing book layouts, catalogues and institutional publications and taking them through to press. Alongside that I create brand identities, proposals and invoices, product mockups and planned Instagram grids for businesses that want to look as good as they are. Thirteen years of photo retouching and print production mean I sweat the details most people never see — colour, type and the final file that goes to press.
