Hi, I’m Amarah Naeem—an illustrator and visual communication graduate from Leeds Arts University. I specialize in atmospheric visual storytelling, expressive line work, and richly crafted textures, creating artwork that’s built to scale across print and large-format installations. I combine a strong editorial and print-ready workflow with creative development from briefs to finished compositions. With experience using Adobe Photoshop and InDesign, plus Photoshop-driven image correction, colour optimization, and multi-page layout preparation, I focus on visual consistency, technical precision, and meeting deadline-driven production needs across collaborative book and publishing projects.…Hi, I’m Amarah Naeem—an illustrator and visual communication graduate from Leeds Arts University.
