Who am I?
Hi, I am Afiqah F. I am a multidisciplinary creative with over 10 years of experience in visual design, branding, and creative direction.
I currently lead the creative strategy and branding at ExpressVPN, while managing the visual design team as a Visual Design Manager. I manage end-to-end projects, mentor designers, and collaborate with C-suite stakeholders to deliver impactful, business-aligned solutions.
I love all things art + design, including UI/UX, interior design, music, fine arts, and more.
