Nosheen’s Pakistani heritage deeply influences her artistic vision, particularly in her use of color, pattern, and texture. She draws inspiration from Pakistan’s rich history of pigment dyeing and embroidery techniques, which vary across provinces and trace back to the Mughal Empire. Her work is also shaped by the intricate and interwoven patterns found in Islamic art. By blending classical elements with contemporary craft, she invents new forms of design that honors traditional techniques while pushing creative boundaries.
She has collaborated with renowned brands like Hermès to create stunning window installations and has worked with companies including Hermes, Fossil, Opening Ceremony, Starbucks, Virgin Voyages, and Marriott. In addition to her commercial projects, Nosheen has contributed to charitable initiatives, creating pieces for organizations such as Dwell with Dignity, The Warren Center, ICNA, and The Human League.

More About This Creator
Q&A
How do your pieces come to life? Tell us one interesting thing about your creative process?
"My pieces are all about texture and color. I always have a color palette in mind but once I start the embroidery part, colors start to overlap and sometimes trick the eye and create the illusion of a slightly different color. I can use the same palette in another piece but it will always look a little different depending on how I embroider the colors and how much of one color I use over another."
Nosheen iqbalQ&A
What do you want people to do or feel when they encounter your creations?
"I want people to feel a sense of discovery when they they see my work. At first glance, most people don't realize that I embroider directly through the wood. It entices the viewer to draw closer into my pieces to explore the texture and play on colors."
Nosheen iqbalQ&A
What funny moments, unexpected surprises, or obstacles have you encountered?
"When I first started my craft over 10 years ago, I would experiment with different kinds of woods. For a few pieces I used ash and I almost gave up because I was breaking so many drill bits. I was so distraught until someone told me that ash is used to make baseball bats and its one of the most durable woods used. Definitely a lot of trial and error at the beginning."
