“Curating creative ideas and translating them through innovative solutions.”

My career has been a unique and rewarding journey. I was born into a family of entrepreneurs and techies - hence have always been passionate about technology and business. After completing my studies, I started my professional career in the IT industry. I quickly realized that I had a natural talent for curating creative ideas and translating them through innovative solutions that are mainly technology-based.

“Dequainis Consulting Agency: We turn ideas into business. And business into a brand.”

During the COVID break - I decided to pursue this passion and alongside my work and studies, started a consulting agency called Dequainis. The idea for it was simple - a global consulting agency focusing on digital transformation, user experience design, and tech innovation: On a mission to empower businesses of all sizes and create influential brands through digital transformation.

I was fortunate to work with some of the leading brands, where I have gained invaluable experience and knowledge - like Canon & Honda. I have also had the opportunity to work and learn from some of the industry giants - like Paula Scher, Derek Lam, & Nando Costa, which has allowed me to develop my skills further.

“Imagine a world where everyone has access to the same resources and opportunities!”

Many people believe that the technological gap between developed and developing countries (like Pakistan) is only getting wider. But I believe that with the right ideas, vision, and innovation, we can bridge this gap and make the world a better place.

My goal is to unite people from all corners of the globe and unite them under one common goal: to use technology to improve our lives. Imagine a world where everyone has access to the same resources and opportunities. A world where we can all work together to solve global problems.

This may seem like an “Impossible Task”, but I believe I cropped “Impossible” out of my dictionary several years ago! So I am confident that with great ideas, relevant vision, and appropriate innovation we can help bridge this gap and make the world a better place, together!
