About The Founder

Hani Anis

I’m Hani, the founder of Kahani Digital Marketing. I started this agency because I saw a gap: brilliant South Asian-founded and multicultural brands with incredible products but no marketing team that truly understood their audience, their culture, or the nuance it takes to connect authentically.

Kahani was built to fill that gap. We are a team of marketers, creatives, and strategists who live and breathe the communities we serve. We don’t just “add diversity” to a media plan. We build marketing engines rooted in cultural fluency: email, social, paid, influencer, all working together.

I am passionate about two things: integration and authenticity. Every brand we work with gets a team that treats their channels as one connected system, not isolated tactics. And every piece of content we create is grounded in real understanding, not surface-level representation.

Why brands choose Kahani.

We are specialists, not generalists. We know DTC, CPG, and multicultural audiences inside and out.

We integrate everything. Your email, social, paid, and influencer teams are one team at Kahani. No silos.

We speak the language. Literally and culturally. We understand the nuance of reaching South Asian and multicultural communities.

We scale with you. Start with Essentials, grow to Premium. You are always in control of scope and spend.

We report on what matters. Monthly metrics, quarterly strategy reviews, real ROI conversations. No vanity numbers.

Our Mission

To be the growth partner for DTC, CPG, and multicultural brands that deserve world-class marketing. Through integrated strategy across email, social, paid media, and influencer channels, we help South Asian-founded businesses, multicultural brands, and culturally conscious companies tell their stories, reach their people, and drive measurable results.

Writing blurbs about myself like this has always been an introspective process for me as I am very aware of the fact that my Kahani is still unfolding. It is quite contradicting and frankly, meta, to write down what your story is in such a permanent medium (words on the internet) when really, it is constantly evolving. However, I can at least share and transcribe my past and only share what I hope for the future. 

My origin is in New Jersey, where I was born to Bengali parents who migrated from Kolkata, India. I went to college in New York City, where it really felt like the world was my oyster. I majored in marketing, worked in advertising and media, reaped the benefits of the city that never slept while also losing sleep… I truly cherish all the memories created, mistakes made and lessons learned there – it is a chapter of my life that really formed who I am today. However, that chapter is closed and I am now in the greater Boston area where I am a full-time project manager while also freelancing at Kahani Digital (which I am so grateful for). 

My hope for my future is that I have achieved my version of happiness – independent of outsider opinion or societal expectations. My journey feels like it is taking me closer and closer to that but obviously, only time will tell. For now, I fill my time with plans to travel, learning Canadian French (fell in love with Quebec City on a recent work trip), anticipating new seasons of my favorite TV shows, analyzing musical albums from start to finish (what’s an album you NEVER skip a song on?)  and continuing on a path of self-improvement, all while just trying to do my best as a 26 year old pseudo-adult!

Hi! My name is Mufaddal, but I go by Muf. I have a very diverse work experience background, ranging from Sports and Entertainment Marketing, to recruiting, to most recently as a federal government Project Manager. The most memorable experience I’ve had is working for the Baltimore Ravens during Lamar Jackson’s first MVP campaign!


In my free time, I am an avid reader (mostly psychological thrillers and melancholic kinda books), an unserious cozy gamer (big Stardew Valley fan), and lover of all things Philly Sports. I’m also a big believer in continuous learning! At the moment I’m working on teaching myself how to speak Arabic and how to code in Python and SQL.

"We don't see things as they are we see things as we are"

Hi, my name is Ujjaini!
 
I am the Lead Visual Designer at Kahani Digital. I majored in Graphic Design at the Maryland Institute College of Art and previously worked at Forrester Research and Stanley Black & Decker before joining Kahani.

I see design as more than just visuals, it’s about creative thinking, problem-solving, and telling stories that resonate. I am passionate about building brand identities that are not only thoughtful and strategic but also bring a fresh, perspective. As a creative thinker and design professional, I love creating new ways to push ideas forward and bring them to life.
 
Outside of my design work, I create lifestyle, beauty, and fashion content on TikTok, where I’ve built a community of over 50K. Through this, I’ve had the chance to collaborate and work with brands like YSL Beauty, Valentino Cosmetics, Olaplex, IT Cosmetics, and Patrick Ta, which has given me another space to connect with people and explore my love for creativity and marketing.
 
I find inspiration in the details of typography, magazines, and seeing the creativity of new brands making their mark!

Hi, I’m Kiara! I’m a graphic designer with a focus on branding, packaging, and UI/UX design. My work blends experimental typography, print techniques, and motion design to create visual identities that tell genuine stories and build connections. I’m graduating with a BFA in Graphic Design and a minor in Printmaking from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Outside of design, I love going to concerts, curating Spotify playlists, reading, and baking.

Bio

Hi, I’m Hajar! Born and raised in Michigan, I never imagined myself in marketing, but I’ve always been drawn to the excitement of building communities and sharing content that resonates with others. I actually graduated with a degree in Human Resource Management and only discovered my love for digital marketing after creating an Etsy shop to share my own art prints. Since then, I’ve transitioned from graphic designer to social media manager and now account manager, and I wouldn’t trade my unconventional journey for anything. In my free time, I’m into puzzles, figure skating (occasionally!), board games, running a bookstagram, and analyzing all kinds of media—from books to movies to music. I also love traveling and connecting with people through shared experiences.
