Senior graphic designer blending visual design, illustration, and advertising for print and web impact.
BahrainWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Graphic Designer focused on visual storytelling through illustration and polished advertising for print and web media. I bring extensive experience delivering high-impact creative work across events, corporate communications, and multi-unit business needs.
In my current role, I mentor junior artists and help conceptualize theme designs for company events. I’m also trusted with heavy design tasks, including video editing and company report designs.
Previously, I served as a Graphic Designer assigned to multiple business units, creating social media post animations, PowerPoint presentations, and internal communications such as emailers and newsletters. I also developed video presentations and other marketing design deliverables for internal and external audiences.
Earlier in my career, I worked as a Marketing Designer II supporting transportation and government health care business units, producing microsites, presentations, video messages, event collaterals, brochures, and corporate documents. I started in advertising-focused creative work as a Digital Graphic Designer and Art Director, where I handled magazine layout, illustrations, graphics, and print advertising design.
