Profile

Welcome to my creative space.

I’m Uzma Sagheer, a senior multidisciplinary graphic and multimedia designer with a passion for purposeful design. As the founder of Retroactive Studios, I lead visual communication projects that blend creativity with clarity—helping organizations tell their stories through impactful, design-driven solutions.

My expertise spans branding, publication design, infographics, digital campaigns, and motion graphics. I specialize in transforming complex concepts into visual narratives that resonate—whether it's a brand identity, advocacy campaign, donor report, or social media series.

What sets my work apart is the ability to combine strategic thinking with refined aesthetics. I approach every project holistically—from concept to execution—ensuring it aligns with its purpose, message, and audience.

I’ve had the privilege of working with a range of national and international clients, including UN Women, WHO, FAO, WaterAid Pakistan, GIZ, USAID, Oxfam, Oxford Policy Management, SDC, Save the Children, Karandaaz Pakistan, and Pakistan Microfinance Network, among others. These collaborations have strengthened my focus on meaningful, impact-driven communication design—particularly within the development sector.

Behind the scenes, I collaborate with a network of trusted professionals—writers, content strategists, and domain experts—to deliver cohesive, effective communication products. Whether you're building a brand, advocating for change, or engaging stakeholders, I’m here to help bring your message to life through design.

Let’s create something meaningful together.

Creativity, for me, is not limited to a career—it’s a way of thinking, observing, and evolving.

I find balance and inspiration through painting and traditional calligraphy, where precision meets expression. The timeless philosophies of Allama Iqbal and Rumi deeply influence my worldview, often shaping the emotional tone and cultural depth of my work.

Photography allows me to document beauty in the ordinary, helping me stay present and observant. These creative practices, paired with a passion for arts and storytelling, enrich the visual narratives I design professionally.

I consider myself a lifelong learner—curious, flexible, and always open to new tools, techniques, and perspectives. Whether refining a design skill or exploring a new art form, I bring the same commitment to growth and excellence into every project I undertake.
