Creative, digital & community work by Isa Noorudeen
A collection of photography, film, content, digital tools and community projects. Some are client work, some are personal builds, and some are made to solve real problems for small teams, charities and communities.
Digital builds, a product business, ongoing photography and video, plus the community and client work that keeps the studio busy. A few of these are live; others have their own pages on the way.
Premium holsters for everyday carry; style, function and confidence, built for people who take their carry seriously. My other business, designed and run end to end.

Production manager on this cinematic poem short film directed by Adam Shamash, a tribute to the Prophet Muhammed narrated by Sukina Pilgrim. Selected for the Mokhtar Film Festival in Paris. Travelled to Paris for the event and appeared on TV show "Being Bilal." Filmed across London and Morocco.
A Muslim student art competition exhibited at London's Mica Gallery, run by FOSIS and UAL Isoc. Three submitted pieces accepted and exhibited: "Woman in Red", "Blue Warrior", and "Veiled Malikah"; digital works bridging traditional Arab, Turkish and Persian illustration with contemporary digital arts. Covered by the Huffington Post.
These projects span two decades of creative and digital work; some are personal builds, some are client commissions, and many sit somewhere in between. The thread running through all of them is the same; using craft, technology and storytelling to serve people, communities and ideas worth sharing.
The mix is deliberate. Television and film taught the value of a clear story; photography keeps the eye honest; and tools like FastUTM and the Tijani App come from a simple habit of building the thing that was missing rather than waiting for someone else to make it.
If you are a charity, a small team or a fellow creative and something here resonates, the door is open; most of this work began as a conversation or a problem worth solving. You can get in touch here or follow the day to day on Instagram.
