About Uzma Akhter

Hi, I’m Uzma - an Art Director & Visual Designer based in London.Over the years, I’ve worked on so many exciting projects - from leading ad campaigns at Wunderman Thompson for brands like AirAsia, Louis Philippe, Britannia and Adidas, to creating heavy VFX and CG elements for short films. I’ve led teams of designers, editors, compositors and photographers, managing full-cycle ad production across digital and print - from concept to final execution.My 3D skills definitely give me a strong edge as an Art Director. Whether it\'s designing cinematic motion graphics or fun VFX product teasers, I’m always thinking about how to make better visual content that are more impactful and memorable. My tools currently range from Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, FCPX, Davinci Resolve, Figma, Houdini, Nuke, Cinema 4D, Maya, Marvelous Designers, Clo3d, Substance Painter to a good A3 sketchbook and a felttip pen.Fun fact: My biggest flex as a kid was winning the competition to redesign my school’s uniform.(Iconic, if you ask me.)To sum it all up, I love fashion, films and anything that lets me experiment with visual storytelling.Always up for collaboration — and always up for cool projects!
