I am a self-taught illustrator and hand lettering artist living in Italy. I’m half Arab half Italian. I like to bring the best of both worlds into my designs which are known to be quirky, relatable, and (for those who love to look into an artwork little more than 10 seconds) you'll find sweet details here and there!
I started my journey in 2016 as a volunteer designer for an intellectual club in college, followed by 2 years of fully remote jobs in the UAE, and now a full-time freelancer. I really enjoy working in three different languages for private clients, agencies, magazines and publishing houses around the Globe.
I’m passionate about bringing my clients’ vision into life and translating their stories through illustrations or cursive and fun letters. My intention is to capture a brand’s personality by developing compelling illustrations.
