About me
A bilingual graphic designer who is currently living in Cairo. Whilst undertaking work experience, skills in design-thinking have been developed, in addition to print-design, digital-design and social media management.

This is also reflected in the use of colours which create contrast on both sides of the broadsheet. The typeface used is Serenity.
