Yunus Saiyed

Art Director / Graphic Designer

Doha, Qatar
Every second day we see something that makes us go, "why didn't I think of that?". That's the kind of work I want to do. The kind of work, that makes a difference, that inspires people around the world. Advertising is changing everyday, as a creative professional it is my job to adapt and evolve with it. My experience with agencies like TBWA\, BBDO has taught me the most valuable lesson of all. That is to never let my passion for ideas fade. To make things happen, whatever it takes. I am ready to take on the responsibility of leading a team. Inspire them, push them, and lead by example.
