Hi, I'm Abdul Qader Ghafory, a Brand Identity and Packaging Designer with 12+ years of experience across branding, print, packaging, and visual identity systems. I work at the intersection of identity design and physical output—developing packaging systems, multilingual layouts, and print materials where production accuracy and consistency are non-negotiable. I manage projects end-to-end, from concept to final print-ready files, with hands-on experience in prepress and CMYK workflows. Currently based in Germany, I collaborate with clients across Europe on branding, packaging, and print projects for consumer goods and education sectors. I also founded Behrang Graphic Studio, led a team, and built internal workflows for briefs, revisions, and final delivery. My past roles include Senior Brand & Graphic Designer at Nanonet Institute, ESO, and World Vision, where I championed brand consistency, production-ready files, and hands-on teaching of branding, layout, and production workflows.
