My name is Mohamed Ismail (Mo). I’m a Bay Area native, born and raised in San Jose, California. I’m a graduate from the University of San Francisco, with a bachelors of arts in design. I found a passion in design: The ability to create something fulfills my passion. Creating to me is unlimited creativity and freedom. With my passion for illustrations and photography, I am able to create or capture something memorable -- something that may resonate with others. I design because I want my work to touch and inspire people. My inspirations come from the world around us. Through cultural heritage, social justice, or pop culture. These inspirations aid in exhibiting my designs effectively. I hope to use the skills and experiences I have gained to further influence people, whether that is through social change or simple inspiration. I hope that my work can make a difference.
