MindShift Interactive CEO Zafar Rais's workspace captures his love of animals and Batman

32-year-old Zafar Rais’s workspace is full of elements that capture his characteristics — a lover of animals, a batman fanboy, a travel enthusiast, and a digital geek.

The ‘me’ wall

These posters represent all that I am. The first one is about my passion for travelling. The second is for my love for felines; and the fact that I am a Batman fan. The third one is about social media marketing.



Art of butterflies

I got this from a Kenyan market. Butterflies intrigue me and this piece is made from dried butterflies — already dead, not killed. This was made to represent the local women.


Feline love

I bought this leopard at a store in Vienna. I love the cat family so this really appealed to me. It represents a lot of what i want to portray and constantly work towards.

Stationery man

I collect notebooks so whenever i am travelling, i pick up a few. I have one that details a war. another old rolex address book was given to me by my grandfather. I also love collecting pens. I am also an absolute apple guy.



Tin on the wall

Walking on the streets of New York, a Batman tin poster caught my attention. It turned into a thing and now, whenever i travel, these are the first things i look for in a city. The posters capture my passion for travelling and also are campaigns of my favourite brands.
