Baitul Javid
Born and raised in Chicago to parents of Pakistani and Persian descent, I’m a ‘90s kid shaped by my heritage, music videos, band posters, punk aesthetics, cinema, and color. I believe visual media isn’t just about looking cool—it’s about speaking truth and making messages seen. I also use it to express what inspires me, from my favorite music at the time to burst of inspiration ideas that seem to come out of nowhere, often through fan art and bold design. The best part is, anyone can do it.
