story

Life in
chapters.

I didn't follow a straight path.
Here's the honest version.

The Beginning
Growing up curious in Lahore
Lahore shaped me. Figuring things out with limited resources is probably why I became obsessed with getting creative work done efficiently.
The Craft
Discovering motion design
Stumbled in and couldn't look away. Trained at School of Motion — one of the world's best programs. That's when things clicked.
The Studio
Founding A+Motion
Started A+Motion with a simple thesis: SaaS companies need videos that actually explain what they do — clearly, quickly, beautifully.
Now
AI & motion at the intersection
Fascinated by how AI is changing creative work. Leaning in rather than away. Starting to share publicly what I've learned. This site is part of that.

Things
I believe.

01Clarity beats cleverness. A video that explains one thing perfectly is worth ten that say everything at once.
02Geography is not destiny. The internet changed the rules. Where you're born doesn't determine what you can build.
03AI amplifies, not replaces. The skills that matter: taste, judgment, knowing what good looks like.
04Share what you learn. Hoarding knowledge is a trap. Sharing compounds value for others and yourself.
05Build things you'd want to use. The bar is whether I'd genuinely find it useful or beautiful. If not, it's not done.
