The toolkit

One creator, every tool connected

From the camera in the field to the timeline at my desk, every step runs through one pair of hands.

About

The person behind the lens

I'm Suliman, an Afghan designer who has spent more than a decade turning ideas into images that move people.

I started designing at Black Store in Kabul in 2010, went on to create social media campaigns for MTN Afghanistan, and since 2021 I've been a Creative Design Specialist at Kam Air. Outside the office I carry a camera everywhere, filming the light over Bamyan, the colours of Kabul's hillsides, and the roads most people never travel.
