FROM PASSION TO PROFESSION

My journey into visual communication began with a simple ad during my post-grad studies—an experience that ignited my passion for storytelling. Exploring integrated marketing communication, I saw the synergy between strategy and creativity, driving me to study graphic design and 2D animation at Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics.

At KPMG Middle East, I refine user-centric storytelling, blending design and strategy to craft impactful digital experiences. Each project sharpens my ability to think vertically and laterally, solving complex creative challenges with innovation and precision.

I had the pleasure of working with Mohammed Abuzar on an important three-part video series, where his creativity and attention to detail stood out from start to finish. He seamlessly blended strategy and design, translating complex ideas into engaging visuals that told a clear and compelling story.

Abuzar’s collaborative mindset, openness to feedback, and ability to deliver under pressure made the entire process both smooth and inspiring. A true design innovator — he combines creativity, structure, and emerging tech to consistently bring ideas to life with impact.

Pursuit Manager, Energy & Natural Resources, KPMG | Middle East

This was a really challenging group to work with, but your resilience and determination got us across the line. The quality of the design you put out was a huge step up from what the team originally planned to deliver – you really took it to another level. You handled vague or conflicting instructions (and sometimes zero instructions at all!) brilliantly, managing to turn complex, unclear briefs into designs that were clear and impactful. Things were constantly changing but you kept up with the fast pace and adapted as needed – this was impressive. Honestly, your work on this project was nothing short of incredible.

Cities Advisory & Urban Researcher, KPMG | Middle East

Ansari is the Cities Advisory go-to person in the Design Hub, and has built a great collaborative rapport marked by ease, mutual respect, and consistently high-quality work. He brings both artistic ability and precision to every project. A standout example is this significant undertaking; the production of an epic 40+ minute video for an HRH as part of a strategic project for a key account. This showcased his artistic ability, command of design and video editing software —all while staying within the brand guidelines of both KPMG and the client. To add to the complexity, the video was produced in a different language, and Ansari handled it with poise and professionalism.

I met Abu during the course of a design workshop and instantly fell in love with his work. Abu has an incredible grasp on the nuances of the design applications and the design process itself, from the brainstorming stages to finalization. He has a fabulous approach to interactive design and a keen understanding of UI | UX. To top it all, Abu has a very shy and quiet demeanor that it's a good thing his work speaks louder than words.
Abu will be an asset to an organization he chooses to work with. I am fully confident that he will be able to provide an innovative and creative approach to business by keeping the customer at the center.
