I'm Elham Numan, a multi-disciplinary graphic designer and illustrator based in Toronto. I've also produced some videos, tried my hand at writing satire, and co-hosted a podcast.
I love visual communication and exploring ways to represent concepts with meaningful impact. I have a particular interest in art direction, education, print and editorial design, and finding ways to insert illustration in a lot of what I do.
Find a selection of my work in Today's Parent, Chatelaine, FLARE, ADCC Directions Annual, The Varsity, and The Varsity Magazine.
If you have a project in mind, or like my work, please let me know at numanelham@gmail.com! You can reach me for (almost) anything.
