We are shaped by the stories we and live through, and come across.

Waqas Nama is an effort to capture and share such stories from a personal lens.

This is not an advice newsletter.
The opposite actually, hopefully we’d have more questions as you join along reading.

By profession, I am an entrepreneur/creative based out of NYC. Co-founded Atoms, a sneaker brand with focus on comfort, creative partnerships, and bringing more art and walks in life.

Before NYC, I lived in San Francisco for four years, nearly a decade in Lahore, Pakistan, and was born and raised in a small town in Pakistan.

Occasionally to my close friends, I share my personal opinions, stories and recommendations on music, art, parenthood, shoes, and food. Let’s just say Waqas Nama is an expansion of the circle. Welcome and enjoy!
