My journey began in children's book publishing and now continues in product development, where I'm constantly exploring new ways to tell stories through design.

I'm Husna Zaki, a freelance graphic designer and illustrator from Kedah. Currently, I'm working on branding, logos, advertising, social media content, posters, and pretty much anything design-related. I also do photo and short-form video coverage. But outside of client work, you'll probably find me drawing little characters and lines because that's my favourite part. Most of them come from random thoughts, or me overthinking at 2 a.m. I like keeping my work simple with outline illustrations, and I also enjoy animating a little, just enough to make people stop scrolling. Go have a look at my portfolio. Who knows, you might like what you see.

My journey began in children's book publishing and now continues in product development, where I'm constantly exploring new ways to tell stories through design. I'm inspired by local culture, everyday moments, and the little details people often overlook.

I'm Husna Zaki, a freelance graphic designer and illustrator from Kedah. Currently, I'm working on branding, logos, advertising, social media content, posters, and pretty much anything design-related. I also do photo and short-form video coverage. But outside of client work, you'll probably find me drawing little characters and lines because that's my favourite part. Most of them come from random thoughts, or me overthinking at 2 a.m. I like keeping my work simple with outline illustrations, and I also enjoy animating a little, just enough to make people stop scrolling.
