Hi, I’m Yahya. A graphic designer living in the beautiful city of Madison by day. A loving dad to my impossibly awesome son and daughter by night (and in the incredibly wee hours of the morning). Both require lots of work, dedication, and patience (one more than the other, I’m finding). But both are totally worth it.
Before living a life of advertising, I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a BFA in graphic design. I got my cap and diploma, landed my first gig, and never looked back. Over a decade later, I’m doing what I love at Hiebing, an integrated brand development and marketing agency in Wisconsin.
