Multidisciplinary designer passionate about Arabic typography and graphic design.
What I'm looking for
I am a multidisciplinary designer based in Palestine, holding a Bachelor's degree in Design from Birzeit University. My work is deeply inspired by Arabic and Palestinian heritage, and I have a strong interest in psychology, which informs my creative process. During my time at Birzeit University, I served as a graphic designer in the Public Relations office, where I contributed to numerous academic and administrative events. This role allowed me to enhance my time management, communication skills, and creative thinking.
In addition to my full-time role, I have worked as a freelance graphic designer and set designer, creating logos and social media packages for various clients. I collaborated with a fashion designer to produce videos that showcased her collections, focusing on set designs that effectively reflected the stories behind the collections. My experience also includes an internship with a collaborative unit between Forensic Architecture Investigation and Al-Haq organization, where I contributed to research and video editing, aligning my tasks with FAImethodologies.
Committed to continuous learning, I actively participate in workshops to refine my skills. I was selected for the Arabic Letter Lab workshop, where I developed a complete typeface inspired by a specific theme, and I also participated in an online Arabic Lettering workshop that deepened my understanding of Arabic typography. These experiences have significantly shaped my professional and creative growth, and I am eager to explore new fields and opportunities.
