Is this real life?! After 16 years of countless sleepless nights, failed ideas, and the occasional ‘What am I doing with my life?’ moment— I finally hit a milestone I never imagined. Being featured on apple.com as part of their Light Up series for #TodayatApple. I mean, no pressure, just casually existing on the homepage of one of the world’s biggest & most aspirational brands. Honestly, I’m beyond grateful & humbled to finally see it somewhat all coming together in so many varied manners. A BIG thank you who braved the crazy BKC traffic to attend the session 🌹 But there’s more to come soon! Here’s to many more adventures. ✌🏼

YOUR BOY MADE IT TO THE LIST!!! One of the biggest achievements I can call mine. The 15yr old me with possibly the worst academic background, accepting that I would amount to nothing is crying tears of joy and gratitude. . Here I am today, 14 years later, overwhelmed with emotions and humbled beyond words to be a part of this prestigious list. @forbesindia thank you. This makes me the first person from Kashmir to receive this award. . But I have not done this alone, I couldn’t have. The endless support of my family and friends and most importantly, my team who has backed every idea that I have had and helped me pull it through exactly as my vision - I thank and congratulate you all for this. . Still can’t believe it - Forbes India 30 under 30 - Design, 2021. Must have done something right 🙏🏻 . #aaquibwanidesign #aaquibwani #forbesindia #forbes #forbes30under30 #30under30

Honouring Hanif Hanif Kureshi was an artist, a storyteller a visionary and a friend who brought the essence of India to life through his work. From his visionary Handpainted type project to the vibrant murals of the Lodhi Art District, his journey was rooted in a deep love for traditional craftsmanship and a steadfast belief in public art as a medium to unite, provoke thought, and inspire communities. This tribute, brought to life by @aaquibw -using archives from Hanif’s library, is a testament to his enduring passion for hand-painted typography. The four walls of the massive black box are adorned with street sign-painted letters from across India, featuring a myriad of languages that reflect the nation’s rich cultural and linguistic diversity. The vibrant backdrop is a celebration of the artistry and tradition Hanif cherished, woven into a colorful tapestry that honors his legacy. Through Handpainted type, Hanif along with reviving the dying craft of hand painted signs and preserving the types also helped the local painters to sustain through their talent. These walls serve as an extension of his vision—an interplay of color, culture, and storytelling that captures the vibrancy of human expression.
