What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create high-retention short-form content where I can own the edit from hook and script through final delivery, using strategy, motion, and efficient AI-assisted workflows.

I run TAFRA, a creative content agency producing Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts for Egyptian and MENA-market clients. I own the pipeline from scripting through editing, motion graphics, and delivery.

I build each edit around hooks, retention, beat-matched pacing, and zero wasted frames. I also create content systems, brand identities, and AI-assisted workflows that help production move faster without sacrificing quality.
