Hello!

Allow me to re-introduce myself

After 15 wonderful years in the Egyptian advertising industry, I decided to leave my comfort zone and explore opportunities in the region.

I spent a year as the Head of the Creative Department at Horizon FCB Kuwait, where I worked side by side with some of the best talents in the Middle East. During my time there, we secured three major businesses: Burgan Bank, Nissan, and Hardees.
 
I am currently an Associate Creative Director at VML Riyadh, working on amazing brands like STC, Al Marai, Flynas, and many more.

I am a copy-based Creative director, yet I have developed myself in many disciplines. I have a good eye for art and a passion for technology and digital trends, which allows me to be more creative.

 

I am quite the weird mix. I  spent half of my life in the USA and the other half on the streets of Cairo, so I got insights and native tongues from both cultures, as well as firsthand knowledge and understanding of their people.
