Noor Majid

Noor is a Graphic Designer and artist who created her social channel, Design Draw Do, as an outlet to share her creative journey. Her work reflects the honest, and human evolution of making art — embracing exploration and imperfection over polished outcomes. Noor has also led in-person and online creative workshops for adults and children.

With over 7 years of experience in design and art, including a degree in architecture, Noor continues to experiment across mediums, increasingly pushing herself to find ‘more’. Her current focus is on graphic-novel style diary drawings, generated by introspection and meditation. This work has already led to a self-published zine exploring ADHD, and she hopes to expand into a graphic novel one day.
