Through feats of passion and unyielding effort, Maifarah Ahmad commands expertise in Visual Communication, especially in Graphic Design, Typography, Branding, and Packaging. Born and raised in Ipoh, Perak, artist Maifarah Ahmad was constantly surrounded by the bursts of colors life had to offer. As is the life we live in, sometimes these colors can turn to darkness and dullness; but in this darkness, the artist found joy and comfort in giving care and getting care from these four-legged lovelies: cats. Even in her younger days, Maifarah always had a soft spot for the furry felines, finding their behaviour ever so intriguing; caring for them regardless of consequence, and loving any cat, stray or not, unconditionally.
