I’m an independent graphic designer, lettering artist, and analogue photographer based between Mount Lebanon and Beirut. My practice brings together a deep interest in Arabic typography with a multidisciplinary approach to visual communication.

Since 2008, I’ve worked across both corporate and cultural sectors, focusing on bilingual visual identities, editorial design, event branding, and design direction. At the core of my work is a passion for typographic experimentation and the expressive possibilities of Arabic hand lettering.
In recent years, I’ve expanded my practice beyond the screen, exploring analogue techniques such as printmaking, woodworking, and darkroom photography.

In 2022, I acquired a 1957 Heidelberg Windmill and began setting up a letterpress studio in the Lebanese mountains—dedicated to researching Arabic movable type, reviving traditional printing methods, and creating a space for collaboration through workshops and printed projects.
