Apr 11, 2024 | News, Student Spotlight

What started as a hobby became a passion and budding career opportunity for Saiyam Shah.

“Graphic designing appealed to me because it allows me to blend my passion for art with technology,” Shah said.

Shah, 22, hails from Gujarat, India, and is enrolled in Humber’s Advance Diploma in Graphic Designing program.

He said graphic designing has always caught his attention.

“It always captivated me since I was young, I found myself drawn to visual arts and design, experimenting with drawing, painting and digital art,” he said.

He said he also looks forward to exploring the field of marketing and advertising.

“As I grew older, I became increasingly fascinated by the impact of design on our daily lives, from branding and advertising to web and mobile interfaces,” Shah said.

He said the idea of post and pre-production entices him because of the process involved and the product that is produced and how this will help him with his goals.

“While I’m immersed in my studies, I’m also striving towards my goal of setting up a production house,” he said.

He said he is striving hard to achieve his life goals.

“While I may not achieve this dream entirely while in school, I am actively working every day to set myself up for future success,” he said.
