With an Interactive Arts degree under my belt, I now write, blog and create for a living. Most of my content lives at RashiqaBatik.com, my own little enterprise, but I also do the odd freelance gig too.

I am a Muslim convert, and according to the Prophet Muhammad pbuh, the most honourable living one can earn is with your hands. So when my busy fingers aren't occupied at the keyboard, they're working away at some handcrafted products or artwork in my studio.

I believe in building your own happiness, in making your own luck, and that if you do good you will see good. I try to encourage this positivity in my writing, which you can see more of at www.rashiqabatik.com/blog
