Hi, I’m Zifaan, a Creative Leader and Senior Graphic Designer with 9+ years of international experience across Singapore, Myanmar, and Malaysia. I specialize in global branding, digital campaigns, and visual storytelling, with a proven track record of elevating brand visibility and delivering award-winning designs. Since 2021, I have collaborated remotely with leading Singapore agencies on global brands like Toyota, McDonald’s, and Marina Bay Sands, and I’ve led visual branding for the Singapore Badminton Open among other re-branding initiatives. Previously, I headed on-site design teams as Head of Graphic Design at Daraz Myanmar (Alibaba) and as Graphic Design & Communication Manager/Creative Head at Legrand, where I managed teams and oversaw all visual communications. I’m proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite and thrive on turning complex ideas into clear, engaging brand stories. I enjoy mentoring designers, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and delivering consistent, high-quality visuals.
