Brand identity
Logos and identities for societies, charities and small businesses. A shapla flower, a DNA strand made of circuit traces, two hands that form an S.

(01) About
Six years of medical school, and most evenings in Illustrator. These days I make brands, illustrations, 3D products and software.
I'm Umayair, 27, from London. I trained as a doctor at King's College London, took a year at Imperial College Business School, and designed alongside it the whole way through, building identities for student societies, charities, caterers and start-ups.
Along the way I led the KCL Bangladesh Society, co-founded KCLevate (an outreach programme for students applying to Medicine, Dentistry and Law), started The Submissions Podcast to share the stories of Muslims, ran a creative agency and supported Charity Week across London's universities.
Now I'm a co-founder of Odjo, an AI front desk. It answers a business's calls, messages and emails, day and night, and books, triages or passes each one on.

Illustration
Flat, character-led illustration. The Submissions portraits use five colours each and no faces.
3D & product
Concept products modelled from scratch, like the Eden plant probe: the object, the packaging and the brand.
AI products
At Odjo I work on the product, the brand and getting it in front of customers.

Co-founder, Odjo
Building Odjo, an AI front desk that answers every call and message a business gets, and puts each one on the right record.
(07) Off the clock
Self-taught, mostly
I can’t leave a new thing alone. Nearly everything here came from videos, manuals and getting it wrong a few times first.
Photography
I take a lot of photos. They go through Lightroom; video goes through Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro.

Smart home
An Apple household, all the way down. The whole house is a smart home, and the Family Frame sits on top of it.
3D printing
A Bambu Lab A1 that runs most days. Everything it has made is just below.
(08) Workshop
Made, not bought
Every successful print off my Bambu Lab A1 from August to November, logged by my Family Frame. Clickers, stands, a T-Rex skull, and fixes for things around the house.

Co-founding Odjo
Odjo is an AI front desk. It picks up every call, WhatsApp, web form and email, in more than 20 languages, works out what the person needs, then books them in, flags it as urgent or passes it to the right person. Anything sensitive is drafted for a human to send. It’s live with letting agents, tutoring and exam centres, clinics, accountants and law firms.
