What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an opportunity where I can deliver detail-driven graphic and packaging design for brands, while contributing spatial thinking and BIM/technical drawing support. I thrive in fast-paced teams that value creativity, problem-solving, and execution.

I’m a Cairo-based designer who combines creative visual work with hands-on spatial and architectural thinking. In my architectural internship (MIMAR), I produced shop drawings, plans, sections, and elevations using AutoCAD, coordinated BIM drawings in Revit, and supported site coordination by resolving minor technical issues.

Alongside that, I’ve freelanced as a Graphic Designer on large-scale branded experiences—contributing to Mega Shop installations and packaging design, helping develop branded visual experiences for Nestlé Christmas shop installations, and supporting stage prop creation and installation for Aziz Maraka. I also focus on packaging and detail-oriented product presentation, including customized candle and gifting concepts for NU's Favors, and fashion-focused design work for JEANIUS—always translating concepts into finished visuals through strong communication, adaptability, and problem-solving.
