About
Mirza is a Singapore-based graphic designer working across brand identity, editorial design, motion graphics and generative art.
He has worked across agency, institutional and startup environments, often moving between structured briefs and experimental work.
Mirza works through ideas before touching software and is drawn to briefs with ambiguity. His interests include science fiction, posthumanism, and how technology reshapes human identity. These shape how he approaches generative tools and AI—as material rather than shortcuts.
Outside of client work, Mirza codes generative art in p5.js and keeps a running list of tools worth exploring. When he is not designing, he photographs where nature and infrastructure meet, less as a practice, more as a way of staying observant.

Memory does not preserve a place. It does something stranger, more tender: it arrives unannounced, bypasses will and becomes sensation long before it becomes name.
antara contemplates the shared spaces of a Singaporean life: thresholds that hover just beyond geography. Through voxel reconstruction and fabricated atmosphere, the quotidian is rebuilt as recollection holds it—quantised, abstracted, rendered strange. The familiar is made unhomely.
These environments can no longer be found on any map, yet they return with the gravity of somewhere you have never been, carrying the residue of use without the use itself.
And if they belong to one person's memory, why do they feel like your own?
EDEN: Schedule 8 (Evolutionary Labs for Extinct Natures )
EDEN is a speculative design project that examines the role of control in conservation. It imagines an AI system tasked with resurrecting 46 extinct plant species once protected under Schedule 8 of the UK’s Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, then allowing them to evolve beyond human oversight.
It combines archival records, generative AI, and deliberate data redaction to question extinction as a fixed endpoint and challenge the human-centred logic behind 'guardian' technologies.

CTRL+ART+DEL
CTRL+ART+DEL is a project exploring how computational tools shape visual language across art, science and design. It brings together a series of studies, each focused on different ways of working with data, systems and digital processes.
Across these subprojects, it looks at how data can be translated into visual form, and how computational methods can respond to human rhythms and urban environments.
The work moves between artistic exploration and scientific visualisation, using each to inform the other.
