What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic work environment that fosters creativity and growth, where I can leverage my design skills and collaborate on innovative projects.

As a Senior Graphic Designer and Digital Artist, I thrive in creative environments that challenge my skills and push the boundaries of design. With over 8 years of experience in various roles, including Head of Graphic Design and Co-Founder, I have honed my ability to deliver visually compelling solutions that resonate with clients and audiences alike.

My journey began with a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design from the Lebanese International University, where I graduated with honors. I have since worked with renowned agencies across the Middle East, including E tihwaz s and Kingsmen Agency, where I led design projects that garnered recognition for their creativity and effectiveness. My expertise spans across branding, web/app design, and ad design, utilizing tools such as Adobe Creative Suite and Figma to bring ideas to life.

Beyond my design capabilities, I am committed to fostering teamwork and collaboration, believing that the best results come from a united effort. I am always eager to learn and adapt, seeking opportunities that allow me to grow both personally and professionally while contributing to innovative projects.
