Borrowed from classical Persian and travelled to various parts of Sindh, hunarresides in my veins and makes me a human copywriter.

Bringing you hunar (Pronounced hoo-na-ra; meaning: skill/talent)

I’m for the people who live to be multi-hyphenate because sticking to just one thing is clearly not their style. Honestly, who’s complaining? NOT ME. When you have a hunar-packed human copywriter, theres no fantasy or irl land you cannot charm your way into. And if you’re reading this, you’re clearly in for an enthralling ride.

They named me Riya. Now, I’m punderful.

I didn’t choose the multi-passionate life; it chose me

Ever since I was a child, I knew I was going to be the unique one in my family. And if you know anything about South Asian families, you know how that goes. Despite being from a line of artisans, my life was sacrificed to the finance gods. Until…Just like every eldest daughter in a fictional universe or riyality, I said “nope, this isn’t for me”. The rebellion led me to people who find themselves in similar situations – with a relentless belief in their product and creativity and the ability to change the world.

Fortunately for me, I had no choice but to see and support their vision.

Now for the profesh version of this human copywriter

Bringing you the stamp of approval before you sign me on.

Something that brings the most amount of gasps per conversation is the fact that I actually have a degree in finance. YEP, could’ve been minting money as per my family, and yet here we are. Fortunately for them, I’d started showing signs since the seventh grade when I first wrote the most emo/dramatic poem in class. The validation I received then clearly catapulted me into getting an advertising degree too; only a year later after working full-time as a copywriter, ya know.

For 7 years now, I’ve been collecting legacy brands in my repertoire. From website copy to social media captions, I did it all for brands like NIVEA, Pond’s, Vaseline, Disney International HD, Lakmé, and the list is quite endless actually. So, when a mini break led me to finally take on the reins for my career in my own hands, I knew what I had to do.

Now, I work with value-first, purpose-driven clients who need a human copywriter to continue building their legacy.

CPR for your brand’s humanness
