A 25 year old kampung kid hailing from a sleepy coastal town, Farid (he/dia) is a full-time freelance illustrator and english communications degree graduate.

Farid's works feature themes of identity, belonging and hope, with most focusing on the intricacies of the malay identity and marginalisation.

Farid also dabbled in mental health and OKU activism via comics or linguistic analysis and talks, but nowadays mainly focuses on his niche in comics, speculative fiction illustration and game writing & art direction.
