Unleashing My Creative Wings with Code to Inspire: Farahnaz Osmani - Graphic Designer
From a young age, I had a deep passion for art and creativity. When I embarked on my university journey, I discovered Code to Inspire (CTI) and its graphic design class. It was a revelation – a place where female students like me could grow and flourish without hesitation or fear.
During my time at CTI, I found an ideal environment that nurtured my skills and provided endless support. CTI went above and beyond to offer resources that enhanced our abilities. I vividly remember when I requested a digital pen for a digital art project; the school management promptly provided me with one, without any hesitation.
Through CTI's guidance, I embarked on a remarkable journey. I successfully delivered multiple paid outsourcing projects for clients based in the US, Europe, and even Afghanistan. These experiences not only honed my skills but also opened doors to new opportunities, allowing me to showcase my talent on a global scale.
I am deeply grateful to Code to Inspire for empowering me to spread my wings and expand my knowledge. Today, I proudly serve as a mentor in CTI's new graphic design class, paying it forward and sharing the skills and experiences that have shaped my own journey.
