I am Asim Hamid, a Kashmir-based independent creator & product designer at sifer.design

I interpret and explore the world from a vantage point moving through multiple traditions of thought. I imprint my discoveries and observations through visuals and words. I publish my work here and on Instagram..

My perspective has been shaped by an education that spans traditional Islamic scholarship and contemporary academic disciplines, alongside practices in Tasawwuf and fluency across multiple languages—Urdu, English, Kashmiri, Arabic, and Persian. My academic interests lie in theology, philosophy (including ontology and metaphysics), and world history (particularly anthropology and political history).

Professionally, I have been working at Sifer Design as a product designer and design director since 2016. I have contributed to projects spanning brand communication, physical and digital user experience, spatial design, and systems design.

My friends and I run a regional community of creatives named kér house (kéri makān in Kashmiri). Founded in 2020, kér house digitally resides in a tight-knit Kashmiri-only Discord server. We organize in-person events occasionally.

In the past, I worked with Productive Muslim, a US-based productivity training and executive coaching company, and ran the IK Store (Ingenious Koshur Store), an online shop focused on Kashmir-themed apparel and artwork. The store unexpectedly catalyzed similar ventures (like Gyawun Shop) and is currently on hold, with plans for a potential relaunch.

The content produced or published on this website (asimhamid.com) and my Instagram handles (@ingeniouskoshur, @asim.gif) represents my independent work. Sifer Design, its partners, and collaborators have no association with my independent projects.
