Tashfia Shamim

South Asian graphic and mixed media illustrator currently based in Uppsala, Sweden

Hello!

 

I am a freelance Illustrator, creative consultant, and full-time graduate student. I have almost always had full-time jobs or studies during the time spent to build my portfolio since 2017 while based in Dhaka, Selangor, and Johannesburg.

 

I find a lack in intricate, handmade, thoughtful artwork used on everyday products. I started freelancing to bring some fun to people finding relatable artwork on their walls or notebook covers. My jouney began with commissions and personal projects in traditional media. In time, I adopted digital tools and was excited by the the potential to bring novelty into canvases like digital branding and packaging. I am very grateful to all the creative directors, art directors, marketers, patrons, and communication specialists who have invested in me so far.

​

I treat every creative brief on a case-by-case basis as each need their own research and problem-solving. These days, I learn to apply motion graphics in illustrations during my spare time.

 

I work to combine my background in international business management, marketing and communication, and illustration to add value on a strategic level to brands far and wide. I think it helps to be an avid consumer of shows, games, arts, and pop culture because it gets fun to come up with engaging ideas!
