Zaineb is an award winning graphic designer and illustrator who grew up and qualified in London UK. With pen in hand, Zaineb loves to tackle issues dealing with growing up as a Muslim in the West with humorous cartoons, personal insight guided by the wisdom of Prophet Muhammed (sallalahu alaihi walaalihi wasalam) and his progeny (alaihi al salam).
