Zamir Sayed, An Akanksha, faced academic struggles due to dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia, but his passion for art helped him find his path. He discovered the vastness of art through mentors and teachers. Inspired by their guidance, he pursued a Bachelor’s in Fine Art at LS Raheja School of Art, choosing to follow his love for art despite societal expectations. His journey into digital art, storyboarding, and VFX led him to work in major studios, but the demanding lifestyle left him unfulfilled. Seeking a change, he found joy in teaching—helping students develop creative thinking and visualization skills.
Zamir taught at Bhanwar Rathore Designing Studio, preparing students for competitive exams in design fields like NID, NIFT, NATA, and JEE. His approach simplifies complex concepts, making learning engaging and accessible. Teaching has rekindled his passion, allowing him to share his love for art while continuously learning. Zamir is currently a Design and Visual Arts educator at Skill Stork International School in Hanamkonda, Telangana.
Reflecting on his journey, he says, “Art has always made me come alive. The colors, the feel of painting, and teaching what I love make every day fulfilling. It’s like having a good time all day, and I can never get bored.”
