Amel Guirat
@amelguirat
I create film, campaign, and brand environments through hands-on art direction.
What I'm looking for
I shape visual worlds for films, campaigns, and branded shoots, from moodboards and color palettes to set dressing, props, and styling.
Most recently, I defined the visual style and managed props and set-making budgets for the short film “Baba Framed Me.” I also designed and dressed a Doha Film Institute x Afikra podcast set.
My work includes set sourcing for Saatchi & Saatchi’s Commercial Bank shoot and art direction for Apex’s Baladna rebranding photo shoot, where I oversaw food styling, prop fabrication, and culinary art direction.
I bring production coordination experience across film and documentary projects, alongside a Bachelor’s degree in Space Design with a specialization in scenography and production design.
