Hi, I’m Zeest Zulfiqar—a budding architect and a passionate writer exploring the crossroads of design and storytelling. As an architecture student, I love shaping spaces and narratives alike, and I’m constantly chasing new challenges across genres including horror, humor, fantasy, and experimental worldbuilding. I'm the owner of a collaborative worldbuilding publication called Weave It Together. When I’m not drafting architectural ideas, you’ll find me drafting stories, editing drafts, and sharing thoughts on Medium and Substack. I aim to bring a friendly, curious voice to every project I take on and to grow as a writer, designer, and storyteller.…Hi, I’m Zeest Zulfiqar—a budding architect and a passionate writer exploring the crossroads of design and storytelling.
