ABOUT

I'm Ahamed Sharaf, a brand builder, designer, creative intelligence professional, and marketer based in Sainthamaruthu, Sri Lanka. I build visual identities, commercial campaigns, and digital creative systems that help brands look sharper, clearer, and more memorable.

Currently, I'm an AI Creative Director & Brand Strategist at Omni Labs, where I combine design, marketing, prompt engineering, and AI tools to create posters, ad creatives, visual campaigns, and brand storytelling systems. I also lead creative and brand strategy at The Catalyst, developing identities, social media visuals, and growth-focused marketing campaigns for clients.

My work sits between branding, graphic design, AI design, social media marketing, WordPress web design, UI/UX, research, and creative direction. I enjoy fast-moving environments where ideas become polished, practical, and results-driven creative outputs.
