Independent graphic designer, lettering artist, and analogue photographer working from my hometown in Mt.Lebanon and Beirut, Lebanon.

Since 2008, my design work revolved in both corporate and cultural spheres focusing heavily on typographic experimentation, utilizing my passion for Arabic hand lettering in bilingual visual identities, editorial design, event branding, and design direction.

After the quarantine of 2020, I divide my time between commissions and exploring new interests away from the screen, such as woodworking, printmaking, and darkroom printing.
Before that, I worked with different agencies such as M&C Saatchi Beirut, Raw Design Studio Kuwait, and Nuqat the cultural organization and annual regional conference.

In 2022, I acquired a 1957 Heidelberg Windmill letterpress with the intent of opening a letterpress studio in the heart of the Lebanese mountains.
