Graphic Designer & Art Director
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
RAHICAL aka Ramesa Ahasan is an award-winning Bangladeshi/Burmese (Rohingya) Muslim Designer based in NJ/NY/ORL. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with her BFA in Graphic Design & Emerging Media, starting her post graduate career working with the Adidas Creative Team for both Adidas and Adidas Originals and has since worked across different realms of designing including branding, digital, social media, editorial, advertising and much more whether it’s working in-house at an agency or freelancing.
She has created culturally relevant projects working for global brands such as Adidas, Ralph Lauren, Hermès, JBL Audio and more. She also works with local Muslim-Owned brands to bring more inclusivity and diversity in the Western World and works with activism related causes creating “designs for good” to bring recognition to Muslims in need around the world facing oppression, injustice, etc. and when she’s not designing (technically she never really stops) she’s either catching up on reading her collection of books or going back to exploring traditional mediums of physical art + design with screen printing, pottery, visitng museums whenever she travels or anything else that interests her.
Currently designing @Olaplex. Previously at Annex88 (NYC), Havas (NYC), Coffee n Clothes (NYC).
