My name is Shakeil. 


Born in Seattle, WA
Reared in Portland, OR
Raised in Philadelphia, PA
Based in Brooklyn, NY


I’m a designer. I design everything from essays to strategies to posters to websites to ideas to experiences. I use design to help achieve my goals of living in a world which prioritizes liberation for all oppressed peoples.

Previously I was the Creative Director of Spring Health. Prior to that I worked as an Art Director at Splice. I started my career as a a Visual Editor, and then Art Direcor, at GQ Magazine. I am also on the leadership teams of the Imaginary School and Àròko Cooperative. I received my Bachelors degree in Visual Studies from the University of Pennsylvania in 2015.

My CV can be viewed here. I am open to projects that align with my core goals, so if you are also working to build a more liberated world and could use some help,  reach out at contact@shakeil.com.
