About

I graduated from the Lebanese Institute of Fine Arts woth a Master’s degree in Graphic Design and Visual Communication. I have always tilted towards the creative, and therefore found myself in fields that stirred my imagination. I worked in graphic design in the beginning of my career, till I moved to art direction where it quenched my thrist for the creative. Starting in Rizkgroup, I worked on various clients such as (Hyundai, Mentos, Vivacell, etc…) for 3 years, then at JWT where I grew in potential and expertise and worked on various clients such as (VW, RedBull, Spinneys, etc…), till I landed in Impact BBDO as a Senior Art Director handling local and international brands, and working remotely with the dubai team on the Abou Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) account along with other projects for Finish Powerbal, Toyota, etc… Along this journey I earned a Silver Lion, a Gold effie and a bronze Gerety Award for the young Bride Campaign for RDFL, along with a Bronze in Beirut Portfolio night.
