Graphic design, illustration & photography; yup, that's exactly what I'm doing right now. But more than that, I'm also solving critical problems and presenting ideas beautifully.
Hi, i'm Raquib Ahmed; a creative designer working in Columbus, Ohio. I am currently studying Advertising & Graphic Design at Columbus College of Art & Design (CCAD). At the same time I'm working with the local community as a freelance graphic designer. I'm also working with The Ohio Technology Consortium and its supporting organizations. My strengths are in layout design; as well as technical expertise in print media and design in general. Currently I am combining my knowledge and experience of web design, blogging, and social media to bring my concepts and designs to a broader audience.
Little bit more background about myself; I was born in Bangladesh and moved to New York, NY around 2006. From there I moved to Columbus, OH. I started attending CCAD in the Fall of 2010, and hope to graduate by 2014. Other than art & design; I also love cycling, poetry & coffee.
