About

Hi, I’m Fariyal Samad—an animator and visual storyteller who loves building consistent visuals across full sequences. I’ve worked as a clean-up, coloring, and light/shadow artist and also as a visual lead on projects, making sure style systems hold up from frame to frame.

I also bring illustrated narratives to life: from research-based story visuals and lighthearted civic/education content to community and cultural heritage campaigns. I enjoy collaborating with teams, translating scripts across languages, and presenting work through screenings, panels, and educational outreach.
