Hi there, I'm Amena!
I'm an artist and creative technologist recently relocated from New York to London, with an academic background in computer science and design. I graduated recently from Tisch School of the Arts (Interactive Telecommunications Program) at NYU, where I explored the magical intersection of art and technology.
I enjoy creating ceramic sculptures, meaningful projects with technology writing about my journey of self-exploration as a woman in tech from Pakistan.
Skilled with rapid ideation and prototyping on multiple platforms, I have worked on projects using traditional art forms to interactive technologies: app development, virtual and mixed reality, wearable technology, to artificially intelligent robots.
You can learn more about me through my art, life stories and blog.
I am curious about new ways to create art and experiences which delight, engage and interact with users, and create an impact or spark debate. With Artificial Intelligence softwares on the rise, I like to create value for brands using emerging technologies that can expontentially improve any aspect of advertising. Utilising AI in all its new founded glory is an art in itself, and combined with social media I like to pioneer immersive, AI driven projects with stunning aesthetics and algorithmic efficiency of reaching target audiences.
On some weekends, I teach sculpture and pottery in my studio:
