Bio
Georgina Roby
I had the pleasure of working with Hafsa during our time at Ryerson University. She is one of the most creative people I've met. Her dedication to her work and her ability to think outside the box makes her a perfect asset to any team. Hafsa's positive attitude always brings a team together as her personality is quite contagious! As someone who worked directly with Hafsa as her leader, I can say that she is a one of the most talented people I've met in my career. Her love for art, design and her natural ability to be creative makes her one of a kind. Any team would be lucky to have her!

I have had the pleasure of working with Hafsa both at the Ryerson Career & Co-op Centre when we both worked on the MarComms team and in a freelance capacity when we swapped creative services. Hafsa is a bold creative who sees her projects through with flawless execution. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to build an ongoing relationship with a dedicated creative person.
