I'm Maroof Modaqiq
Maroof Modaqiq is a graphic designer based in Vancouver, with more than 13 years of experience in branding, print, and publication design. His work ranges from logos and visual identities to magazine covers, books, and reports, with experience in UX design and a specialised background in security documents and banknote design.
During four years at The Killid Group, Maroof designed and produced approximately 432 magazine issues across two weekly titles and one quarterly publication. He also created cover illustrations about issues affecting people in Afghanistan, including women’s participation in peace talks, access to information, and justice. This work challenged him to turn difficult subjects into images that readers could understand and connect with.
His publication experience includes an English & French report for the OECD, where layouts needed to work across both languages and different text lengths. His work in security printing brought another dimension to his practice: intricate artwork and the precision required for security documents and banknotes.
Today, Maroof brings that experience to both print and digital projects. He incorporates AI into his design workflows to explore ideas and support production, while making the creative decisions that give each project its direction. He also teaches graphic design and shares what he has learned through tutorials and workshops for aspiring designers.
