Design work

A new and growing aspect of my work - working with clients to provide Islamic Geometric Design in a range of contexts.

Porsche Middle East

Samira Mian x Porsche ME

1/3

My first brand Collaboration! Officially, I'm the Artist for the 2024 Porsche Ramadan campaign.

I produced a range of art that will be used for Ramadan and Eid by Porsche across the Middle East in their social media, showrooms, advertising, and billboard too!

Here are a few shots from the 100s of videos and photos we took at the very cool @drvn.ae by Porsche on Bluewaters Island in Dubai. Looking at each piece, I of course knew what I had done, but woah what the team went on to do with the original art work... the sheer number and quality... superb! There have been a lot of folk involved in this and all without exception, friendly, caring, talented, professional and fun. I have felt so valued!

I tell you teamwork does make the dream work. I'm eternally grateful that they chose my dream to come true... a dream way beyond my imagination.

Alhumdolillah always

Northolt Art Stops

My artwork is now installed up on a public building - my local library, Northolt Library!

Mighty thank yous to Molly and @_newpractice and Mariam and @ealingcouncil for more than a year of working behind the scenes culminating in it finally going up in September courtesy of @Omnicolour. It really is a dream come true for me.

Also so chuffed for my fellow artists and friends @lazfarart @pridetca and Jane who have been part of this Visions for Northolt Project, can't wait to do an art stops tour of Northolt and so much more... here's to this being the start of something that will beautify our surrounding and connect and benefit our community!

Leighton House Garden Grille

I was commissioned to “design” the metal lattice that would be both practical and beautiful. I say “design” as I didn’t design it. That was done by the great minds of the past.

After much research I selected a pattern from the 14th-century Mausoleum of Sultan Oljeitu in Soltaniyeh, Iran. The design itself although rooted in Persian tradition, it has a universality with shapes and symmetries reminiscent of Andalusia, Türkiye, the Maghreb and Mughal India.

It connects the inside to the outside. The eight-sided Arab Hall is mirrored in the octagonal forms of both the lattice and the marble fountain. The turquoise of the metal reminds us of the shimmering glazed ceramic tiles in the Narcissus Hall.

Thank you, Daniel, Shannon & Leighton House.

Orchestral Qawwali @ The Royal Albert Hall

So very honoured to have my artwork on the score of the @orchestralqawwaliproject at the @royalalberthall in April 2024. Alhumdolillah

Thank you to @rushilmusic for letting this fan get involved and along with the amazing team at the Royal Albert Hall who made *me* feel like such a star! In my mind (and outloud), i was like no no no, I'm the fan! It blows my mind that the conductor, the musicians, singers and staff all had their hands on it....i hope they liked it too!!

The story continues as the art work was digitally rendered for the upcoming concets of Rushil Ranjan x A R Rahman at the Royal Albert Hall in April 2026.
