Steffi Braganza

Assistant Designer, fall 2020 through spring 2021

Steffi Braganza is a graphic designer currently residing in Qatar. She prefers to design beyond the boundaries of her comfort zone. She believes, as a designer, that one doesn't learn by staying within confined walls; one works best when one finds a way to go around those walls. Most of her time she likes to invest in research and to diverge her knowledge. Steffi is extremely passionate about creating and developing new and innovative ideas. Bringing those ideas to life is what she as a designer strives to achieve.

Faheem Khan

Design Intern

​

Faheem Khan is a Junior studying graphic design at VCUarts in Qatar. He is a freelance designer whose work tends to the minimal, but that is a personal preference. He may appear to be an angry young man, but in reality, he's a pretty foolish and down-to-earth person. He is resilient and usually has a lot on his plate, but it sure is a delicious plate.

Steffi Braganza

Design Intern

​

Steffi Braganza is currently a graphic design Sophomore at VCUarts in Qatar. She is extremely dedicated, passionate and enthusiastic about her work. Sometimes over-enthusiastic. Actually, borderline anxious. You don’t need to look for her in a crowded room because she keeps making cliché height jokes to remind you that she's tiny. Don’t worry though, she can see everything from down there. Or so she thinks.
