What I'm looking for

I seek senior creative leadership roles where I can lead brand strategy, build cross-functional teams, and deliver measurable, culturally relevant creative work.

I am a Creative Director with 15+ years of experience shaping brands, designing campaigns, and producing cross-media experiences across MENA and global markets. I combine branding and storytelling with hands-on expertise in design, photography, animation, film, and digital campaigns to create culturally resonant work.

I have led full rebrands, website and UX/UI redesigns, and multi-channel campaigns that drove measurable results — including +35% growth in qualified digital leads and +25% adoption rates for platform migrations. I build and lead creative teams and oversee production from concept through delivery.

My work spans NGOs, government, corporate and commercial clients, with notable projects for NRC, ICRC, MSF, UNDP and regional brands. I apply design thinking to craft cohesive brand experiences that align culture, strategy and audience engagement.
