Speaking about the movies that inspired and motivated her to choose this career, she said, “The first time I watched 'Toy Story' that really inspired me, I was like wow how is this done… I did not know back then that I would get into visual effects but it was in me all this time that something related to art and technology is what I wanted to do”.

Talking about her family, Laraib said that it was extremely tough to explain her work to them but fortunately they supported her to achieve her goals. Laraib added that she wants to become an inspiration for all those Pakistani women yearning to follow their dream goals.
