Government officials call me Raqeem, but I go by Rayo. I'm a visual designer in the age of AI. My portfolio is made with 0% generative AI, but I am still well versed in utilizing AI in the most efficient and ethical ways. I believe originality lies in the skill of extracting inspiration from unique places. This is what drives creativity and innovation.
