I started my career surrounded by top-notch artists and outstanding
brands like Barwa Bank, Qatar Foundation, Kuwait Finance House, and
other big corporates in the retail and real estate sectors. I gained
experience and got to know the ABC of the industry. Although I
handled various challenging projects as a Junior creative designer, this
only gave me confidence and tools to get promoted to a Senior level
within 2 years of joining the agency.
If one thing to mention during my work as a senior graphic designer, is
the amount of development in my thinking methodology, and the
approaches I created to think more like a corporate communication
specialist rather than a graphic designer. This opened the path for me
toward a further development in my career, by which I got promoted
after 3 years to an associate creative director.
As an associate creative director, my main focus was on keeping
harmony between the artistic capabilities of the department and the
corporate/business requirements of the client. I got exposed directly
too many briefs from clients in different sectors which made the
the responsibility falls on me in making sure all the client's demands are
met professionally and with the standards set within the agency.
I was head-hunted by Raad Afyouni based on the unique thinking
approach that was presented in my portfolio.
I came to RA with a will to add value; the thing that I achieved, thanks
to the years of experience, I gained from working on brands of
different business models and platforms.
In 2014 I joined Horizon FCB Kuwait and still working there.
Handling Al Ahli Bank and Hyundai and other clients
and delivering a unique quality of work.
