Faryal is a storytelling machine, give her any brief and she'll come back with a story carved around it. She started an accidental career in advertising at BBDO and hasn't looked back since. From gripping copy to brilliant executions, her creativity is as fresh as it gets. She's a strong believer in living through life, rather than merely living life. Converting her passion for storytelling, at 26 she started her own company called SOLO, set to empower solo travellers across the world! This app in the making, intends to connect solo travellers to one another, to share and experience a solo trip, together. This stemmed from her personal experience when she was granted a FULBRIGHT award to pursue her Masters in Integrated Marketing Communications at Northwestern University, where interestingly Faryal chose to travel every third weekend.
At the conclusion of her program, Faryal had traveled 3 countries, 17+ states and 30 cities in only 18 months, alongside a brand new startup, a newly acquired degree and another challenge waiting to be conquered. She knows how to make the best out of every situation (even if it is a travel-focused startup in a pandemic-struck world), how to never give up and how to always fight for what's right - which makes her truly Badass!
