Benoi Paul

Chief Designer

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
I’m a Designer not by chance, but by choice. I believe that this is what I was born to do. Ever since I had this conviction, I’ve let my five senses out to hunt and gather for the finest nutrients to feed my creative mind. Nothing escapes my scrutiny; be it people, nature, ideas, art, science, software, or brands. This method of observe and create has kept me prepared for any project, because I know projects are my clients’ lifeline. They are mine too. They have to be.

Work Experience

Planandglow

Founder and Chief Designer

I’ve worked with some large, iconic brands on planet, but my primary focus has been on creating change, growth and success for small to medium sized
businesses. I can do this with my decades worth of knowledge and experience working in ad agencies and design companies around the globe.
Nobody hires me to create something ordinary. At Plan and Glow we work at the intersection of design, content and technology, where business problems meet creative solutions. I am capable of answering any creative brief and solving any business problem. My goal is to continuously create value for my clients, which is made easier when I am given the opportunity to challenge conventional thinking. I know that good creative can help achieve our clients’ goals, especially when they view me as an extension of their team,
or a long-term partner.
