Skills

Creativity adds beauty, marketing matches it with people's desires.

"Fariq is a true gem to have on a team when it comes to creative content strategy and brand identity ideation — we worked together on a 2-week pro-Bono project at General Assembly, where he drove the creative direction for a successful campaign for our client, Lendor. Beyond that project, I had the privilege of watching Fariq share his ideas week after week during our time at General Assembly, which never failed to impress."

Vanessa Teo, General Assembly

"Fariq's skill with content and creative marketing was apparent from the first time I worked with him in General Assembly. His out-of-the-box approach and novel ideas provided new insights to tackle the challenges we faced during our projects. Beyond that, his amicable nature made him an exceptional team player through great communication and willingness to share his knowledge with those who need."
