REAL PROJECTS. PERSONAL AMBITION.

HEY, I’M HAKAR.

I like making
things happen.

I’m Hakar Russell, an entrepreneur and web developer based in Sydney. I’m studying Civil Engineering (Honours) at Macquarie University while building businesses and digital experiences of my own.

My work moves between the screen and the real world. SOMNIX brings together product, brand and a complete online experience. OVIANT AUTO is the next part of my automotive journey.

And then there’s the M4: a BMW M4 Competition with an ADRO V1 Final Edition full-carbon widebody kit. I bought it at 19. It’s a big part of my story, and an expression of the things I’m drawn to — design, detail and doing something different.
