/ About me

Creative by nature

I'm Sharafudheen KM - a senior graphic designer and multidisciplinary creative with more than 15 years of experience across the GCC.

I turn ideas into clear, meaningful and visually engaging experiences for brands and businesses. Alongside design and motion I bring hands-on knowledge of HTML, WordPress, web development and digital marketing, so work moves smoothly from concept to launch.

From leading the creative team at Nesto Hypermarket in the Dammam region to building campaigns, videos and websites for EZELINK Telecom in Dubai - I care about design that delivers.

Under my supervision, he successfully led the design of our Wireless Products portfolio from initial wireframes to complete datasheets, took ownership of our corporate website redesign, and produced impactful marketing and advertising collateral. He was also instrumental in driving brand campaigns and designing the client-facing portal for our media company, while managing all design materials for company townhalls and major industry events like GITEX and AI summits, where he collaborated directly with production teams on stand builds and interactive videos.
