Arif :
From Crisis to Creative Partner
Year: 2025 | Role: Poster Designer
Arif entered our journey at a moment of crisis. After 10-15 failed attempts with agencies and designers, who either couldn’t capture our brand identity, ghosted after corrections, or quoted unaffordable prices, we were left with no poster for a crucial event. Then Arif stepped in. Within hours, he sent a draft that instantly felt right, and by the next day the poster was finalized. It gave us not only the material we needed but also the relief and confidence we had been searching for.
What matters most is the opportunity to create impact and be part of the journey.
From that moment on, Arif proved himself as more than just a quick fix. He took on one of our biggest challenges, a 90-100 page annual report, despite it being his first non-profit project. Instead of billing per page like most professionals, he quoted a flat fee and saw the work as an opportunity to learn, not just earn. His words, “This is a big chance for me to learn, money isn’t the focus,” perfectly capture his humility and mindset.
Through the process, he showed patience, professionalism, and resilience. He embraced endless feedback, refining his drafts until they matched our vision. What began as “rough” designs quickly evolved into polished outputs that became critical tools for us, whether it was the poster that drew stakeholders to our event or the annual report that strengthened donor communication.
Today, Arif is no longer just a freelancer but a trusted creative partner. His integrity, adaptability, and heart have made him an indispensable part of our journey. For turning setbacks into success and standing by us with relentless dedication, we are deeply grateful to Arif.
It takes a village to nurture innovation. Every person featured here has played a part in shaping a brighter future. If you’ve been a part of our journey, know that your support is etched into DPurpose’s story forever.
