Meet Our Team

Our officer team is comprised of UT Dallas students across different majors and fields of study.  Each officer has a unique background in a variety of different creative forms.

Amir Naqi

Founder/President

Amir is a content creator, designer, and hypeman from Plano, Texas. He has a passion for dreaming up ideas, starting a task force, and carrying out the vision. Alongside founding the organization, he also started up SummerofStreams.COM. His interests include Twitch streaming, being a Local Guide, creating content, and blowing bubbles. Some say that he can be found sipping strawberry milk and watching Tom and Jerry cartoons on a Saturday morning.

Lourdes Buksh

Vice President

Lourdes specializes in photography and film/video production, but also has a passion for anything in the artistic and creative world. She is a member of DMHP and Collegium V, and is a finance major here at UTD. She enjoys wasting time listening to all genres of music (mostly indie alternative and EDM, but also everything from trap metal to Christian), going to concerts, and wearing her Birkenstocks or going barefoot.
