Once upon a time while I was on an adventure of a lifetime, I came across a road going in two different paths. Which one should I take? The question crossed my mind.

One looked like the path well taken. Carved out neatly by those who took it before me. Guiding every step and taking me towards a direction well known.

The other path looked less taken. As if no one had walked it before. A path I would have to carve out as I walked it. That’s the one that seemed more exciting. So naturally that’s the path I decided to embark on.

My name is Rijaa and I tell stories through creating art, film and digital media.

I paint the souls of those who have inspired me in this life. I create commissions for people who want their identity immortalized on canvas.

I create films where I capture the beauty of characters and their moments. Through them, I tell tales that are unique and impactful to those who watch it.

I develop messaging for brands and people alike. Through social, digital, broadcast and audio, I execute multimedia campaigns which convey the essence of what their hosts are trying to convey.

For what is this world without a good story to tell
