Can a minaret, a protest poster, and a pair of illustrated socks all become acts of dawah? Farah Girach’s practice explores how Islamic values are carried through graphic design, illustration, and the choices behind the work we choose to create.

Leicester-based designer Farah moved from a corporate learning and development role into freelance design after studying Graphic Communication at Birmingham City University. A turning point came when she stepped away from agency work that conflicted with her values, later deepened by redundancy in 2026, leading her toward a practice rooted in “design for good” and faith-led creative work.

Her projects include collaborations with Friends of Al Aqsa, Palestine solidarity cycling jerseys worn across the UK, and fundraising design work supporting humanitarian initiatives. Through these, her work becomes a form of visual activism, engaging with themes of justice, awareness, and global solidarity.

In Islam Through My Eyes, she presents an architectural piece centred on the Adhan and the minaret, woven with geometric structure and African-inspired motifs. The work reflects stillness, presence, and the grounding moment of prayer within everyday noise.
