Today we together (Sarah and Hafsa) throwing out a person who has a bag of tricks in his very early stage of youth. It is really a rare thing as a person who comes forward after his Ordinary Levels as a Maestro in Creativity and Designing. Without any further adieu, let s look at the dexterous young handsome boy, who shines as a star.

All of the career paths in today’s society if to step into at any age, be it 16 or 19 or 24 or even 30, always stretches out into a long unending path that looks like it’s going to lead you into an absolute void. From where you stand, comprehending the pros and cons of the path, it’s a take it or leave it toll booth and you’re next to step up. Riddled with the anxiety of uncertainty, you choose to try. You try and you find yourself excelling it by being you. You see that you have exactly the right tool skills and talent to flourish in that chosen path and flourish you do. But today isn’t about you. Today it’s about Rinaz Raiz. A young 17 year old Graphic Designer and Founder of Create Masters, a creative virtual agency aiming to provide out of the box yet resourceful aid to those like you and me who find it difficult to sustain creativity in technology.

The reason to turn himself as a designer was, it is (Designing) becoming increasingly popular and trendy in the fields along with several other professions. We also find society evolving, adapting and incorporating technology in everyday life. The main reason as to what enticed me to become a designer is that I saw these incorporations in the designs everywhere. Billboard, Company Logos, trivial name stickers. Design was everywhere and it surrounds our physical and virtual spaces. By studying designing, it helped me align with one of the most prominent aspects of the society, and learn about the diversity the creative industry expands itself consistently.

While Sarah and I interviewed him, we asked, “What was your motivation to start your own creative agency?”

He said, “I believe it was the passion that I always bore within me to be a young entrepreneur of many sorts at the age of 16. It was the belief that I held onto; I can do things better than the boring mediocre expectations. By moving forward continuously and make it this far into the society with whatever I had, an eagerness to try something new settled within me. And that’s where Create Masters Agency began and is now currently being expanded to virtual service and assistance to our clients and society”.

That was indeed a motivating caption from Rinaz Raiz. His words are immense and very supportive.

One of the turning points through this interview was like How did Create Masters’s growth personally look like for him and he said, Create Masters was his vision and he made it a mission to make it come true and become a major part of his life. It’s been 2 whole years following his completion of the G.C.E. O/L Education and his idea which developed in this stage started looking like plans and goals for him. One year into the making of a legacy, the global pandemic hit every aspect of this world drastically and it crumbled many start-ups like his. But he and his team stand today, two years later. From ideas to plans and goals, to laying the foundation, to resource checks to the downfall and back up again. The growth of Create Master wasn’t an easy one, but it still looks like it was all worth it.

Though accordingly, in our view while interviewing we were aware with his background. It is very rarely found after done with Ordinary Level, getting into a such greater work and playing multi task, in terms of editing, videographer, hosting meetings and providing/ teaching his surrounded one is vital and to the peak appreciable.

The next question we raised for him was, “What are the challenges you faced being a young entrepreneur?” and he said, “I was a 16 year old kid who had no idea how society has its own rule book for functioning. It took me almost 01 complete painfully troublesome year to see growth in my business. It also isn’t easy to kick start an idea and expect it to smoothen out without hard work, so I was individually responsible for doing the most number of things and that looked like working long hours, juggling between handling numerous projects and constantly coming up with new eccentric ideas. It wasn’t any easy when the pandemic came around too. I did make a lot of mistakes, a lot. It was my first time as a Founder of an agency that didn’t have any sort of former blueprint to follow. I had to do it all on my own, from scratch. But I think I quickly learned all the lessons these hardships have had to offer me and I grew – still growing – not only my business but also myself”.

A person who is heading an amazing job, like all his works as an output in one word would be hats off, based on our personal experience it is the best term we can come up with.

When it comes to his personal shining we were asking him, “Did you raise yourself to be who you are or did you follow any educational courses?” and he said us.

He was a self-studied designer, very proud to admit. It was step-by-step basic progress. He started by learning the basic tools from a fellow friend. Practiced self-assignments to get the hang and the creative fluid flowing. Move on to e-learning, where he used YouTube tutorials to improve himself in the creativity he lacked. He also received this very fortunate internship offer from a content creator from the infamous marketing agency called Virtual Garage. He took that up and he still learns with all of these new changes and space. He also managed to get himself involved in the Diploma in Software Engineering. While he has completed his Bachelor’s first year in that, the learning aspect to thrive is always an ongoing process and he’ll continue to educate himself for his own, by his own.

He just throws up the real motivation with the deep feelings, which really encourage us interviewers. Actually, we ourselves were learning through him because we really see his real activities at our face level.  As a whole, we are vigilant about this real motivator.

His supportive backbones to keep hustling were his parents. The main reason for the successful nature of his business and himself as of today will always be his parents. He would be burdened with examinations, lectures, extra-curricular activities while also handling client requests and complicated business tasks. Create Masters is existent because of them along with the extensive support of his teammates, few friends, and all his dear clients.

“At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents.”
