I'm a visual storyteller, motion designer and art director with more than ten years of experience creating brand-led campaigns, design systems and social-first content for global organisations, including SiGMA World in Cyprus, an international media organisation in London, and UN agencies. I work across the Adobe Suite with strong motion graphics, 3D and illustration skills, and I use AI-powered creative tools hands-on to deliver static and animated assets for social media, digital campaigns, print and live events.

I trained in fine art at Minya University in Egypt and later completed an MA in 3D Computer Animation at Bournemouth University. Before motion became the centre of my practice, I storyboarded more than sixty episodes of an Egyptian animated series, modelled characters for an animation studio and drew concept art for games.

For ten years I produced animation, infographics and posters for the International Labour Organization, working with its offices from Cairo and Baghdad to Yangon, Tirana and Geneva. I have made explainers for The New Arab's newsroom in London, data graphics for investigations at The Sentry, films for the FAO and IOM, and comics for the Danish Refugee Council. I have also directed an animation series, leading a team of animators and voice artists.

Today I design motion for SiGMA World's international summits from Limassol, Cyprus. Most of my work starts with something hard to explain, a labour statistic, a money trail, a migration route, and ends with something people can follow.
