About

Ishmam Ahmed is a Minneapolis-based freelancer and community partner who wonders why he wrote this in third person.

Hello, and welcome! This site is a home for my creative projects, which I’ve been sharing without my parents’ permission since 2008. Over the years, my work has grown to include landscape paintings, portraiture, book illustrations, cartoons, design, and more.

You’ll find my ever-evolving portfolio of art, design, photography, writing, and freelance work here, as well as my reflections on growing up, lifelong learning, and more. Thanks for stopping by!

To navigate, the home menu is a stellar place to start. Thoughts? Questions? Looking to commission a project? I’m here and all ears.

Cheers! To the adventures ahead.
