HI! I’m Liyana Hanif
Bringing bold ideas to life with colour, culture, and curiosity.
I’m a Brunei-based creative director with over a decade of experience in branding, marketing, and visual storytelling. I lead the creative team at Progresif, shaping campaigns that connect with audiences and inspire action.
My background in graphic design and love for experimentation have guided my journey, whether it’s designing visual identities, art directing commercials, or merging human creativity with AI.
What I Do
Branding
I craft brand identities that are not only visually impactful but strategically aligned. From logos to brand systems, I design with meaning and adaptability in mind.
Creative Direction
From concept to execution, I lead multi-platform campaigns that merge storytelling, strategy, and visual innovation—working closely with teams, clients, and collaborators.
Generative AI & Innovation
I use AI tools like Adobe Firefly, DALL·E, and Krea to enhance the creative process—whether it’s to test art directions, create visuals at scale, or explore new creative expressions.
Community Building
As the founder of Just Bruneians and SEA-Up, I empower creatives and Southeast Asian youth through mentorship, design education, and emerging tech like AI.
