Hello! I am Syed Erzum Naqvi and I am a storyteller at heart. I have a constant curiosity for the various media that allows for different kinds of stories to shine. At the end of the day, though, they're exactly that; just a medium for the story to reach the audience. I have dabbled in everything from written word, oral storytelling, acting, film and photography, animation, digital fabrication, coding, and am excited about the many more avenues just waiting to be explored.
Originally from Pakistan, I moved to Qatar to receive my formal undergraduate education in Media Industries and Technology at Northwestern University in Qatar. After graduating, I worked with the Production Department in NU-Q before moving to Memac Ogilvy when multimedia storytelling was a relatively new field in Qatar. Ogilvy became the first advertising agency to set up an in-house content production team, and have been fortunate enough to work with clients locally, regionally and internationally.
Currently, I am pursuing an MFA Degree in Interdisciplinary Design at Virginia Commonwealth University. This has allowed me to explore avenues of storytelling and design that were previously unknown to me. I am also open to freelance and commission based work, depending on availability.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or opportunities!
