What I'm looking for

I seek collaborative roles in creative direction or multidisciplinary design where I can lead hands-on production, research-driven visuals, and community-focused programming.

I am an interdisciplinary artist and art director with experience across set design, sculpture, illustration, and workshop facilitation. My practice blends visual research, product design, and somatic expressive arts to create immersive experiences for film, performance, exhibitions, and community programs.

My work includes art directing feature films and concerts, designing sets for music videos and large events, illustrating books, and producing gallery exhibitions and publications. I have led community workshops and facilitated creative projects in Egypt, Sudan, and the United States, often integrating research-driven visual approaches.

I hold an MFA from George Washington University and a BA in Sculpture from the School of Fine Arts. I seek collaborative roles where I can apply multidisciplinary design, creative direction, and hands-on production to meaningful cultural and artistic projects.
