About me
Engineering the signal. Designing the brand.
I’m Abdullah Al Fahim, a broadcast engineer and brand designer from Dhaka. I keep Channel i on air, look after the systems behind it, design brand identities and campaigns, and build apps that make broadcast work and everyday life in Bangladesh a little easier.
For 8 years I’ve designed logos, brand guidelines, campaign posts, web banners, magazines and pitch decks for startups, youth programmes, fashion labels and tech sellers. TaskBell, Taka and the other apps below are mine from the icon to the release page.
Live TV runs to the second. I bring the same discipline to your deadlines, and I also write technical documentation, run training sessions and plan events.

Built for brands that need to look right and ship on time
Bangla and English
I set type in both scripts, so your campaign reads correctly for every audience in Bangladesh.
A designer who builds
I design and code my own apps, so UI files come with real states, real content and nothing a developer has to guess.
Live-TV deadlines
My day job runs on air times. Your posts are ready when the campaign goes out, not a day after.
