Toronto · OCAD University graduate
I'm Aqiq Gohari — a graphic designer, UI/UX designer and professional painter. I turn ideas into clean, modern visuals that people actually feel.
About
I studied Graphic Design at OCAD University in Toronto, where I learned to treat every layout, letterform and colour as a decision — never an accident. Today I work across brand identity, digital product design and print.
Outside of client work I paint. Working with real pigment on a real canvas keeps my eye honest and feeds straight back into the screens and pages I design. The two practices are not separate; one makes the other better.
When I'm not in the studio I'm in the gym. That discipline is where my next project comes from: a workout app built for people who only have a few minutes a day.
What I do
Whether it's a logo, an app screen or a canvas, the goal is the same: clarity, feeling and a result that lasts.
Logos, type systems, colour palettes and guidelines that give a brand a voice it can keep.
Interfaces that are simple to use and pleasant to look at, from wireframes to polished, dev-ready screens.
Posters, packaging, books and collateral, designed with the paper, the ink and the hand in mind.
Original works and commissions. Acrylic and oil on canvas, made for homes, studios and brands that want something real.
Paintings
A few pieces from the studio. Commissions are open — reach out with a size, a mood and a wall.
Coming soon
I'm a gym rat, and I know most people aren't. So I'm designing an app for the ones who have ten spare minutes a day and want every one of them to count.
