Asim Ali, Trainer
Asim is the newest addition to the BoldFace team. His strongest skill is being behind the camera and deciding on the best way to tell a story. He has worked on various projects, from independent feature films to corporate training videos. It’s from this perspective that he believes he can teach young people, helping them develop a unique style through which they tell their own stories.
