Meet Waseef Akhtar - a native of Pakistan’s most picturesque province, Khyber Paktunkhwa. Having been brought up in the cosmopolitan capital of Saudi Arabia, he is currently an undergraduate student at Bahria University. Waseef, or simply W, has vast experience as a freelance photographer and graphic designer. His work has been acclaimed, winning him numerous international photography competitions. Passionate about technology and design, Akhtar’s favorite technology brand is Apple (not surprising given he has worked for them and has personally met its cofounder, Steve Wozniak!). He sees himself setting up a company in Silicon Valley, one day, where his heroes have invented groundbreaking technology and have innovated a plethora of design trends. You can find him on several social networking websites by simply looking up his name on a search engine.
