Simrah Ahmed, first-generation British. Comes from a South Asian family. She moved to London, UK at the age of 8 where facing a new language, new culture was not the only challenge Simrah faced; her biggest challenge has been growing up unaware of being dyslexic, which she first became aware of while studying architecture at Central Saint Martins.

Simrah found her artistic voice by embracing her dyslexic way of thinking and feelings that she now shares through her Instagram as the artist name Y3LLOW. She uses abstract art and manipulation of text to depict similar positive thought-provoking experiences and feelings she faces. Her work has been shown in various galleries such as the Waterman Arts Centre, Brentford and Pitzhanger, Ealing, UK. She has also exhibited the following;
